**** RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.75 dated 05.06.2015 under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Moonak, District Sangrur, and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise deed dated 06.07.2015 (Annexure P-2).

Brief facts of the case are that marriage of petitioner No.1 with respondent No.3 took place on 08.12.2014. After few days of marriage, the accused started harassing respondent No.3 and because of said harassment

-2she made a complaint against them. A panchayati compromise arrived at Police station Moonak and as per compromise the accused have to pay a sum of Rs.7 lacs in lieu of expenditure made at marriage. Thereafter, the accused back out of the compromise and extended the threats to kill respondent Nos.2 and 3. Consequently, the F.I.R was registered against the petitioners on account of harassment caused by them. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that keeping in view the peace and harmony of the village and area, the matter has now been amicably settled between the parties, vide compromise deed dated 06.07.2015 (Annexure P-2).

Upon notice, a joint affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent Nos.2 and 3, today in the Court and the same is taken on record. As per said affidavit, they have compromised the matter with the petitioners and had received an amount of Rs.7 lacs into equal instalments from the accused party. They have no objection, if the present FIR registered against the petitioners is quashed. Consequently, in view of the above-said affidavit and in view of the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Dr. Arvind Barsaul etc. Vs. State of Madhya Pradesh and another, 2008(2) RCR (Criminal) 910; Madan Mohan Abbot vs. State of Punjab, 2008(2) RCR (Criminal) 429 and the law laid down by the Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh and Ors. vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR (Crl.) 1052, no useful purpose would be served in prolonging the litigation. Accordingly, FFIR No.75 dated 05.06.2015 under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Moonak, District Sangrur, and all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed on the

-3basis of compromise deed dated 06.07.2015 (Annexure P-2). The present petition stands disposed of.
