To conclude, it can safely be said that there can never be any<br \/>\n                    hard and fast category which can be prescribed to enable the<br \/>\n                    Court to exercise its power under Section 482, of the Cr.P.C.<br \/>\n                    The only principle that can be laid down is the one which has<br \/>\n                    been incorporated in the Section itself, i.e., &#8220;to prevent abuse<br \/>\n                    of the process of any Court&#8221; or &#8220;to secure the ends of<br \/>\n                    justice&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             28.    In Mrs. Shakuntala Sawhney Versus Mrs. Kaushalya<br \/>\n                    Sawhney and others, (1980) 1 S.C.C. 63, Hon&#8217;ble Krishna<br \/>\n                    Iyer, J. aptly summoned up the essence of compromise in the<br \/>\n                    following words:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                    &#8220;The finest hour of justice arrives propitiously when parties,<br \/>\n                    despite falling apart, bury the hatchet and weave a sense of<br \/>\n                    fellowship of reunion.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                    The power to do complete justice is the very essence of every<br \/>\n                    judicial justice dispensation system. It cannot be diluted by<br \/>\n                    distorted perceptions and is not a slave to anything, except to<br \/>\n                    the caution and circumspection, the standards of which the<br \/>\n                    Court sets before it, in exercise of such plenary and<br \/>\n                    unfettered power inherently vested in it while donning the<br \/>\n                    cloak of compassion to achieve the ends of justice.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             29.

The compromise, in a modern society, is the sine qua non of<br \/>\n                    harmony and orderly behaviour. It is the soul of justice and if<br \/>\n                    the power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C is used to enhance<br \/>\n                    such a compromise which, in turn, enhances the social amity<br \/>\n                    and reduces friction, then it truly is &#8220;finest hour of justice&#8221;.<br \/>\n                    Disputes which have their genesis in a matrimonial discord,<br \/>\n                    landlord- tenant matters, commercial transactions and other<br \/>\n                    such matters can safely be dealt with by the Court by<br \/>\n                    exercising its powers under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C in the<br \/>\n                    event of a compromise, but this is not to say that the power is<br \/>\n              Criminal Misc.

There can never be any such rigid rule<br \/>\n                      to prescribe the exercise of such power, especially in the<br \/>\n                      absence of any premonitions to forecast and predict<br \/>\n                      eventualities which the cause of justice may throw up during<br \/>\n                      the course of a litigation.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             31.      The only inevitable conclusion from the above discussion is<br \/>\n                      that there is no statutory bar under the Cr.P.C which can<br \/>\n                      affect the inherent power of this Court under Section 482.<br \/>\n                      Further, the same cannot be limited to matrimonial cases<br \/>\n                      alone and the Court has the wide power to quash the<br \/>\n                      proceedings      even       in   non-compoundable     offences<br \/>\n                      notwithstanding the bar under Section 320 of the Cr.P.C., in<br \/>\n                      order to prevent the abuse of law and to secure the ends of<br \/>\n                      justice.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             32.      The power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C is to be exercised<br \/>\n                      Ex-Debitia Justitia to prevent an abuse of process of Court.<br \/>\n                      There can neither be an exhaustive list nor the defined para-<br \/>\n                      meters to enable a High Court to invoke or exercise its<br \/>\n                      inherent powers. It will always depend upon the facts and<br \/>\n                      circumstances of each case. The power under Section 482 of<br \/>\n                      the Cr.P.C has no limits. However, the High Court will<br \/>\n                      exercise it sparingly and with utmost care and caution. The<br \/>\n                      exercise of power has to be with circumspection and<br \/>\n                      restraint. The Court is vital and an extra-ordinary effective<br \/>\n                      instrument to maintain and control social order. The Courts<br \/>\n                      play role of paramount importance in achieving peace,<br \/>\n                      harmony and ever-lasting congeniality in society. Resolution<br \/>\n                      of a dispute by way of a compromise between two warring<br \/>\n                      groups, therefore, should attract the immediate and prompt<br \/>\n                      attention of a Court which should endeavour to give full<br \/>\n                      effect to the same unless such compromise is abhorrent to<br \/>\n                      lawful composition of the society or would promote<br \/>\n                      savagery.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             Compromise in modern society is the sine qua non of harmony and<br \/>\norderly behaviour. As observed by Krishna Iyer J., the finest hour of justice arrives<br \/>\npropitiously when parties despite falling apart, bury the hatchet and weave a sense<br \/>\nof fellowship of reunion. Inherent power of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C is<br \/>\nnot limited to matrimonial cases alone. The Court has wide powers to quash the<br \/>\n               Criminal Misc. No. M-15551 of 2009                     (4)<\/p>\n<p>proceedings even in non-compoundable offences in order to prevent abuse of<br \/>\nprocess of law and to secure ends of justice, notwithstanding bar under Section<br \/>\n320 Cr.P.C. Exercise of power in a given situation will depend on facts of each<br \/>\ncase. The duty of the Court is not only to decide a lis between the parties after a<br \/>\nprotracted litigation but it is a vital and extra-ordinary instrument to maintain and<br \/>\ncontrol social order. Resolution of dispute by way of compromise between two<br \/>\nwarring groups should be encouraged unless such compromise is abhorrent to<br \/>\nlawful composition of society or would promote savagery, as held in Kulwinder<br \/>\nSingh&#8217;s case (supra).\n<\/p>\n<p>              Keeping in view the enunciation of law as referred to above and<br \/>\napplying the same to the facts and circumstances of the present case, once the<br \/>\nmatter has been compromised between the parties, no useful purpose will be<br \/>\nserved by proceeding with the prosecution. Accordingly, FIR No. 80 dated<br \/>\n30.5.2008, registered under Sections 498-A and 406 IPC at Police Station Jhaball,<br \/>\nDistrict Tarn Taran, and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed<br \/>\nqua the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>              The petitions are disposed of accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<pre>6.8.2009                                                   ( Rajesh Bindal)\nvs.                                                              Judge\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Amritsher Singh And Others vs State Of Punjab And Another on 6 August, 2009 Criminal Misc.
