HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. M.K. Singla, Advocate for the petitioners Ms. Anmol Grewal, DAG, Punjab Mr. Sumeet Puri, Advocate for respondent No. 2 **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 37 dated 13.05.2016 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Dharamgarh, District Sangrur is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 23.11.2016 (P-2) Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner about 2 1⁄2 years ago from the date of registration of F.I.R. Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained. F.I.R was registered against the petitioners on account of bringing less dowry and harassment caused by the petitioners.

However, the matter has now been duly compromised, vide compromise deed dated 23.11.2016 (P-2) In compliance of order dated 09.12.2016, report dated 18.01.2017 of Judl. Magistrate 1st Class, Sunam (Sangrur) has been received GAURAV ARORA 2017.01.31 15:02 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Crl. Misc. No. M-44142 of 2016 in this regard. As per report, statement of parties have been recorded. The complainant 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 petitioners. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. To the same effect is the joint statement given by the petitioners. Both the parties were further identified by their counsel.

Consequently, in view of the status report dated 18.01.2017 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. 37 dated 13.05.2016 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Dharamgarh, District Sangrur, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.

The petition stands disposed of.
