This is a petition for quashing of FIR No.401, dated
24.11.2006, registered under Sections 326/324/323/379/506/148/149 of the
IPC at Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar.

Sukhpreet Kaur, Advocate appears for the complainants-respondents No.2
to 4 and has confirmed the factum of compromise. Counsel for respondent
Crl Misc No. M 28334 of 2009(O&M) ::2::
No.1, however, informs me that the case is pending trial and some of the
prosecution witnesses have also been examined.
In view of the fact that the allegations are not very serious, and
in view of the decision of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others vs State
of Punjab, 2007(3) RCR (Crl) 1052, this compromise is accepted, the
present petition is allowed and FIR No.401, dated 24.11.2006, registered
under Sections 326/ 324/ 323/ 379/ 506/148/149 of the IPC at Police Station
Civil Lines, Amritsar, as also subsequent proceedings emanating therefrom
are quashed. This would, however, be subject to payment of Rs.30,000/- as
costs to be deposited with the State Legal Services Authority Punjab by the
complainants. Let the complainants produce the receipt of the costs before
the trial Court on the date fixed viz 8.12.2009.
As the main petition has since been allowed, all the pending
civil miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
Copy of this order be given dasti to counsel for the parties on
payment of usual charges.
