CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURINDER GUPTA

Present:

Mr. Ram Darshan Yadav, Advocate for the petitioners.

Mr. Deepak Grewal, D.A.G., Haryana.

Mr. Ajit Kumar Sharma, Advocate for respondent No. 2-complainant.

SURINDER GUPTA, J.(Oral) The petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, 'Cr.P.C.') seeking quashing of FIR No. 684 dated 31.12.2017 (Annexure P-1), registered for offences punishable under Sections 323, 325, 506 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Model Town Rewari, District Rewari along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of the compromise (Annexure P-2).

As per case of the prosecution, petitioners were giving injuries to a person on the liquor vend and when respondents No. 1 and 2 intervened and enquired as to why the injuries were being caused to that person, the petitioners also caused injuries to them.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the matter has since been settled vide compromise, copy of which has been placed on file Jyoti 2018.08.16 17:40 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document

CRM-M-7112-2018 -2as Annexure P-2 .

Learned counsel for respondent No.2-complainant endorses the submission of learned counsel for the petitioners and has no objection if the impugned FIR (Annexure P-1) is quashed.

Learned State counsel has also not disputed compromise (Annexure P-2).

In order to verify the veracity and genuineness of the settlement between the parties, they were directed to appear before the trial court and get their statements recorded. The trial court has sent its report dated 09.03.2018 stating therein that the compromise has been effected between the complainant and the accused.

Keeping all the above facts in view, I am of the considered opinion that it is a fit case in which the impugned FIR should be quashed. Keeping the case pending will not serve the ends of justice. The quashing of the FIR will provide the parties to this petition an opportunity to live in an amicable, peaceful and harmonious atmosphere which is not only in the interest of the parties but also for their families and ultimately the society at large.

For the reasons as discussed above, the instant petition is allowed and FIR No. 684 dated 31.12.2017 registered at Police Station Model Town Rewari, District Rewari (Annexure P-1) along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, qua petitioners, is quashed.
