The report dated 06.03.2026 has been received from Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Jalandhar, stating that the parties have entered into a compromise, which is genuine, voluntary and without any coercion or undue influence. 5. Full Bench of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, has held:- “29. The only inevitable conclusion from the above discussion is that there is no statutory bar under the Cr.P.C. which can affect the inherent power of this Court under Section 482. Further, the same cannot be limited to matrimonial cases alone and the Court has the wide power to quash the proceedings even in noncompoundable offences notwithstanding the bar under Section 320 of the Cr.P.C., in order to prevent the abuse of law and to secure the ends of justice. 30. The power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. is to be exercised Ex-Debitia Justitia to prevent an abuse of process of Court. There can neither be an exhaustive list nor the defined para-meters to enable a High Court to invoke or exercise its inherent powers. It will always depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case. The power under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. has no limits. However, the High Court will exercise it sparingly and with utmost care and caution. The exercise of power has to be with circumspection and restraint. The Court is a vital and an extra-ordinary effective instrument to maintain and control social order. The Courts play role of paramount importance in achieving peace, harmony and ever- lasting congeniality in society. Resolution of a dispute by way of a compromise between two warring groups, therefore, should attract the immediate and prompt attention of a Court which should endeavour to givefull effect to the same unless such compromise is HIMANSHU 2026.05.07 09:50 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-8906-2026 (O&M) -3- abhorrent to lawful composition of the society or would promote savagery.” 6. It is evident that in view of the amicable resolution of the issues among the parties, no useful purpose would be served by continuation of the proceedings. The furtherance of the proceedings is likely to be a waste of judicial time and there appears to be no chance of conviction. 7. In view of above, FIR No. 0046, dated 07.06.2025 (Annexure P-1), under Sections 221, 118, 351, 191(3) 190, BNS 2023 and Sections 132, 109 BNS 2023 added later on vide DDR No.38 dated 07.06.2025 (Annexure P-3), registered at Police Station Patara, District Jalandhar Rural, with all the consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua the petitioners, on the basis of affidavit and compromise dated 06.11.2025 (Annexures P-4 & P-5). 8. The present petition is hereby allowed.
