HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. A.S. Gill, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. A.P.S. Gill, A.A.G. Punjab Mr. F.S. Virk, Advocate for respondent No. 2 **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 475 dated 24.12.2014 under Sections 498A/506/354 IPC, registered at Police Station City Tarn Taran, district Tarn Taran, is being sought on the basis of compromise dated 02.06.2015 (Annexure P2).

Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner No. 1 on 05.02.2014. Due to incompatibility of temperament, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. No child was born out of this wedlock. The relationship between them became strain and thereafter, the F.I.R was registered against the petitioners on account of bringing less dowry and harassment caused by the petitioner and his family members. However, the matter has now been duly compromised, vide compromise/statement of respondent No. 2 dated 02.06.2015 (Annexure P2).

Crl. Misc. No. M-28049 of 2015 (O&M) In compliance of order dated 28.04.2016 report of Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Tarn Taran has been received in this regard. As per report, statement of complainant has been recorded to the effect that she has compromised the matter with the accused person and she has no grudge against the accused. She does not want to proceed further against the accused and has no objection, if the present F.I.R be quashed against the petitioners. Joint statement of petitioners have been recorded to the same effect. The compromise has been entered voluntarily Consequently, in view of the status report and in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Dr. Arvind Barsaul etc. versus State of Madhya Pradesh and another 2008(2) RCR (Criminal) 910, no useful purpose would be served in prolonging the litigation. Accordingly, FIR No. 475 dated 24.12.2014 under Sections 498-A/506/354 IPC, registered at Police Station City Tarn Taran, district Tarn Taran, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.

The petition stands disposed of.
