HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. Sandeep Khunger, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Jaspreet Sekhon, AAG, Punjab Mr. Salil Bali, Advocate for respondent No. 2 **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 405 dated 08.10.2009 under Section 406/498-A/323/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Kharar, District S.A.S Nagar, Mohali, is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 04.03.2017 (Annexure P-2) and affidavit dated 04.03.2017 (Annexure P-3) Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner No. 1 on 11.11.2016. Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. One son was born out of this wedlock. 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.

A petition under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act has also been filed. However, the matter has now been duly compromised, on the basis of compromise deed dated 04.03.2017 (Annexure P-2) and affidavit GAURAV ARORA 2017.05.

Crl. Misc. No. M-8654 of 2017 dated 04.03.2017 (Annexure P-3).

In compliance of order dated 15.03.2017, report dated 29.04.2017 of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ferozepur 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 29.04.2017 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. 405 dated 08.10.2009 under Section 406/498-A/323/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Kharar, District S.A.S Nagar, Mohali, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.

The petition stands disposed of.
