SUKHPREET KAUR 2025.05.08 04:56 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document chandigarh ::2:: In terms of the order dated 10.02.2025 passed by this Court, the parties have appeared before the court of Additional Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.)-cum-Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Ganaru and as per the report dated 01.03.2025 submitted to this Court, both the parties have got recorded their respective statements in Court. A perusal of the aforesaid report would show that the parties have effected a genuine compromise without there being any pressure, coercion or undue influence. In view of the compromise there is a remote possibility of the complainant coming forward to support the prosecution case. The powers under Section 482 Cr.PC can be exercised in such like situation in order to prevent unnecessary vagaries of criminal trial to be faced by the parties, when there are remote chances of conviction of the accused. The compromise in question is found to be fully in consonance with the direction issued by the Court in Kulwinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 and Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., 2012(4) RCR (Crl.) 543. So far as the co-accused of the present petitioner-Jagbir, namely, Mohit, Babita, Ravi and Deepak are concerned, the FIR in question and the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom stand quashed vide a separate order of even date passed in CRM-M-4001 of 2025 titled as ‘Mohit and others versus State of Haryana and anr.’.
