CRM-M-27998-2022 (O & M) ::2::

A perusal of the aforesaid report would show that the parties have effected a genuine compromise without there being any pressure, coercion or undue influence. In view of the compromise there is a remote possibility of the complainant coming forward to support the prosecution case. The powers under Section 482 Cr.PC can be exercised in such like situation in order to prevent unnecessary vagaries of criminal trial to be faced by the parties, when there are remote chances of conviction of the accused. The compromise in question is found to be fully in consonance with the direction issued by the Court in Kulwinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 and Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., 2012(4) RCR (Crl.) 543.

In view of the aforesaid report of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Karnal, accompanied by the joint statement of both the parties, the FIR No. 1133 dated 24.11.2016 under Sections 148, 149, 324, 341, 427 and 506 IPC registered with Police Station Karnal Sadar, District Karnal and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioner herein.

Petition stands disposed of.
