HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. S.S. Majithia, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Jaspreet Sekhon, AAG, Punjab Ms. Neelam Rani, Advocate for respondent No. 2 **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 69 dated 04.04.2012 under Section 406/498-A/323 IPC, registered at Police Station Jandiala Guru, District Amritsar, is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 04.03.2017 (Annexure P-2) Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner No. 1 on about 7-8 years back from the date of registration of F.I.R. Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. Out of this wedlock, one girl child was born. The relationship between them became strained and F.I.R was registered against the petitioners 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 04.03.2017 (Annexure P-2). GAURAV ARORA 2017.05.09 15:17 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Crl. Misc. No. M-8075 of 2017 In compliance of order dated 09.03.2017, report dated 03.05.2017 of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Amritsar has been received in this regard. As per report, statements of the complainant and petitioners have been recorded and they stated that the matter has been duly compromised between them. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. The complainant stated that she has no objection if the F.I.R be quashed against the petitioners.

Consequently, in view of the status report dated 03.05.2017 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. 69 dated 04.04.2012 under Section 406/498-A/323 IPC, registered at Police Station Jandiala Guru, District Amritsar, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.

The petition stands disposed of.
