He<\/p>\n<p>contends that with the passage of time and with the intervention of the<\/p>\n<p>respectables, compromise has been entered into between the parties. There<\/p>\n<p>does not exist any dispute between the parties due to existence of the<br \/>\n Crl.Misc.No.M-28657 of 2009 (O&amp;M)                                 -2-\n<\/p>\n<p>compromise deed dated 11.9.2009 (Annexure P-3).

On the basis of the said reply, counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>complainant-respondents No.2 and 3 states that respondents No.2 and 3 do<\/p>\n<p>not have any objection to the quashing of the cross-version case in FIR and<\/p>\n<p>all consequential proceeding arising therefrom in the light of the<\/p>\n<p>compromise and they do not         want to press the allegations against the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>               Wariam Singh son of Jag Singh, Sobha Singh son of Jag Singh<\/p>\n<p>are present in Court and have been identified by their counsel.

Vs. State of Punjab &amp; Anr. 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, while<\/p>\n<p>discussing the scope of quashing of prosecution on the basis of compromise,<\/p>\n<p>in exercise of powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C., even in non-compoundable<\/p>\n<p>offence(s), has held as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                   &#8220;28.    The compromise, in a modern society, is the sine<br \/>\n                   qua non of harmony and orderly behaviour. It is the soul<br \/>\n                   of justice and   if the power under Section 482 of the<br \/>\n                   Cr.P.C. is used to enhance such a compromise which, in<br \/>\n                   turn, enhances the social amity and reduces friction, then<br \/>\n                   it truly is &#8220;finest hour of justice&#8221;. Disputes which have<br \/>\n                   their genesis in a matrimonial discord, landlord-tenant<br \/>\n                   matters, commercial transactions and other such matters<br \/>\n                   can safely be dealt with by the Court by exercising its<br \/>\n                   powers under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. in the event of<br \/>\n                   a compromise, but this is not to say that the power is<br \/>\n                   limited to such cases. There can never be any such rigid<br \/>\n                   rule to prescribe the exercise of such power, especially in<br \/>\n                   the absence of any premonitions to forecast and predict<br \/>\n                   eventualities which the cause of justice may throw up<br \/>\n                   during the course of a litigation.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                   29.     The only inevitable conclusion from the above<br \/>\n                   discussion is that there is no statutory     bar under     the<br \/>\n                   Cr.P.C. which can affect the inherent power of this Court<br \/>\n                   under Section 482. Further, the same cannot be limited to<br \/>\n                   matrimonial cases alone and the Court has the wide<br \/>\n                   power    to    quash   the   proceedings     even     in   non-<br \/>\n                   compoundable offences notwithstanding the bar under<br \/>\n                   Section 320 of the Cr.P.C., in order to prevent the abuse<br \/>\n                   of law and to secure the ends of justice.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>            Therefore, in view of the discussion above, since the parties<br \/>\n Crl.Misc.No.M-28657 of 2009 (O&amp;M)                               -4-\n<\/p>\n<p>have amicably settled the matter, which is otherwise in the interest of justice<\/p>\n<p>and appears to have been effected to promote peace and harmony amongst<\/p>\n<p>the parties, the instant petition is allowed.
