(Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 132 dated 30.09.2013 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station City Rupnagar, Distrist Rupnagar, is being sought on the basis of compromise dated 09.08.2016 (P2) Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner on 11.02.2012. Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained and thereafter, the F.I.R was registered against the petitioner on account of bringing less dowry and harassment caused by the petitioner. However, the matter has now been duly compromised, vide compromise dated 09.08.2016 (P-2) In compliance of order dated 06.09.2016, report dated 06.10.2016 of Chief Judl. Magistrate, Rupnagar, has been received in this regard. As per report, statement of parties have been recorded. Complainant

Crl. Misc. No. M-31320 of 2016 stated that the matter stands compromised between the parties and she does not want to proceed further against the accused and has no objection, if the present F.I.R be quashed against the petitioner. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. To the same effect is the statements given by petitioner. Consequently, in view of the status report dated 06.10.2016 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. 132 dated 30.09.2013 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station City Rupnagar, Distrist Rupnagar, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioner.
