CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA
PRESENT: - Mr. M.S. Uppal, Advocate, for the
petitioners.

AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral)
This petition has been filed under
Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.116 dated
11.6.2007 under Sections 406, 498-A IPC, Police
Station, City Mansa.
It has been contended that there was a
matrimonial dispute between respondent No.3,
Kulwinder Kaur and Jitender Singh. FIR came to be
lodged on account of the differences at the instance
of respondent No.2, Ajit Singh (father of respondent
No.3.).
Replies on behalf of respondent Nos.2
Crl. Misc. No. M-20760 of 2008 [2]
and 3 have been filed.
As per the affidavit of respondent No.2,
Ajit Singh, it has been stated that that he would
have no objection if the petition is allowed and FIR
is quashed.
Likewise, respondent No.3, Kulwinder
Kaur has stated that she would also have no
objection if the petition is allowed and FIR is
quashed.
Learned counsel for the respondent-State
has not opposed the quashing in view of the
compromise.
Considering the fact that FIR came to be
lodged on account of matrimonial differences;
differences have been settled by way of compromise
that has been placed on record as Annexure P-3;
complainant, Ajit Singh and his daughter, Kulwinder
Kaur (the alleged victim) have sworn affidavits
supporting the prayer made in the petition, it would
be an exercise in futility if the proceedings are
allowed to continue.
In view of the above, this petition is
allowed.
FIR No.116 dated 11.6.2007 under
Sections 406, 498-A IPC, Police Station, City Mansa,
is hereby quashed.
