         .9 [6] Learned State counsel has not raised any objection regarding the acceptance of the present petition.

[7] Hon'ble the Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, has held that the High Court has power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to allow the compounding of noncompoundable offences and quash the proceeding where the High Court is of the opinion that it is required to prevent the abuse of process of law or otherwise to secure the ends of justice.

[8] Since the matter has been settled between the parties, the parties have no grudges against each other and respondent No.2-complainant has no objection if the present FIR is quashed, as such, this Court feels that in order to secure the ends of justice, the criminal proceedings deserve to be quashed.

[9] Consequently, this petition is allowed and FIR No.127 dated 27.06.2021, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Khanna, District Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) and all the subsequent proceedings emanating therefrom are ordered to be quashed, qua the petitioner. [10] However, the respondent No.2-complainant and the State shall be at liberty to seek cancellation of this order, in case the final terms and conditions of compromise dated 07.02.2023 (Annexure P-2) are violated. [11] Pending miscellaneous application (s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
