(Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 177 dated 05.10.2016 under Sections 307/376/324/34 IPC, registered at Police Station City Moga, District Moga, is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 25.01.2017 (Annexure P-4) Brief facts of the case are that F.I.R was registered on the statement of Monika who stated that she got married with Navneet Puri on 12.12.1998 and when the complainant started opposing the relationshiph of her husband with Rupinder Kaur alias Khushi, her in-laws family started beating her and asked for vacating the house. Navneet Puri has also made an attempt to put rope on her neck and with an intention to kill her and due to which she fell unconscious.

However, the matter has now been duly compromised, compromise deed dated 25.01.2017 (Annexure P-4). In compliance of order dated 01.02.2017, report dated GAURAV ARORA 2017.06.02 15:53 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Crl. Misc. No. M-3349-2017 20.04.2017 of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Moga has been received in this regard. As per report, separate statement of the complainant and petitioners had been recorded and they stated that the matter has been duly compromised between them. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. The complainant has no objection if the F.I.R be quashed against the petitioners. The compromise is without any pressure, influence or coercion. Consequently, in view of the status report dated 20.04.2017 and in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in cases of Dr. Arvind Barsaul etc. versus 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, FIR No. 177 dated 05.10.2016 under Sections 307/376/324/34 IPC, registered at Police Station City Moga, District Moga, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.
