Present:

Mr. Sunil Narang, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. A.P.S. Gill, AAG, Punjab Mr. D.S. Sandhu, Advocate for respondent No. 2 **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 59 dated 10.08.2010 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Matour, District S.A.S Nagar, Mohali, is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 01.02.2017 (Annexure P-2) Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner on 13.12.2016. Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained and F.I.R was registered against the petitioner on account of harassment and humiliation caused by the petitioners on the pretext of bringing less dowry by respondent No. 2.

However, the matter has now been duly compromised, on the basis of compromise deed dated 01.02.2017 (Annexure P-2). As per compromise deed, learned counsel for the petitioner has handed over a GAURAV ARORA 2017.04.21 14:25 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Crl. Misc. No. M-5837 of 2017 draft /cheque No. 605553 of Rs.15,00,000/- to learned counsel for the complainant who further handed over to the complainant in the Court today. In compliance of order dated 22.02.2017, report dated 03.03.2017 of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Mohali has been received in this regard. As per report, separate statement of the complainant and petitioner has 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 petitioner.

Consequently, in view of the status report dated 03.03.2017 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, no useful purpose would be served in prolonging the litigation.

Accordingly, FIR No. 59 dated 10.08.2010 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Matour, District S.A.S Nagar, Mohali, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioner.

The petition stands disposed of.
