Mr. Kripal Singh, Advocate for Mr. Umesh Kumar, Advocate for the respondent no.2. *** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J.(ORAL) The prayer in this petition under Section 528 of the BNSS, 2023 is for quashing of case FIR No.111 dated 04.06.2022 under Sections 323, 325, 506, 34 IPC registered at P.S. Ajnala, District Amritsar and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise dated 04.06.2025 (Annexure P-2) arrived at between the parties. Vide orders dated 20.11.2025 this Court had directed the parties to appear before Illaqa Magistrate for getting their statements recorded in terms of certain parameters given in the aforesaid orders dated 20.11.2025 with regard to the compromise dated 04.06.2025 (Annexure P-2). In terms of the orders dated 20.11.2025 passed by this Court parties have appeared before the court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, VINAY MAHAJAN 2026.04.07 13:51 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CRM-M-65469-2025 #2# Ajnala and as per report dated 11.02.2026 submitted to this Court, both the parties have got recorded their respective statements in Court. 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 reports of the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Ajnala accompanied by statements of both the parties, the case FIR No.111 dated 04.06.2022 under Sections 323, 325, 506, 34 IPC registered at P.S. Ajnala, District Amritsar and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.

Petition stands disposed of.
