Mr. Anshuman Dalal, Advocate, for the petitioner.

Ms. Mahima Yashpal, AAG, Haryana.

**** RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.1139 dated 03.09.2016, under Sections 376, 417 and 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Panipat City, District Panipat on the basis of compromise.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner and respondent No. 2 were known to each other and wanted to marry each other but the parents of both sides were opposing the said marriage as both belong to different caste. Thereafter, they decided to elope together and marry each other. But parents of respondent No. 2 came to know about the same and pressurized respondent No. 2 to lodge the present F.I.R No. 1139 dated 03.09.2016 under Sections 376/417/506 IPC. But now parents of both the sides agreed and they performed marriage and are seeking quashing of F.I.R.

During the course of preliminary hearing, the trial Court, was directed to record the statements of all the concerned parties, with regard to the genuineness and validity or otherwise of the compromise in question, Naresh Kumar 2016.12.14 15:59 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh by way of order dated 30.09.2016, by this Court.
