HARPREET SINGH CHAUHAN 2025.08.11 20:44 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-46832-2024 (O&M) -3- Learned AAG for the State of Haryana has not raised any dispute regarding the factum of compromise. Since the matter has been amicably resolved, continuation of the criminal proceedings would be an exercise in futility. The dispute which has its genesis in a matrimonial discord, as per settled principles of law, warrants exercise of powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Following principles of law laid down by the Full Bench Judgment of this Court in “Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another” 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 and Hon’ble Supreme Court in “Gian Singh Versus State of Punjab and others” (2012) 10 SCC 303, the petition is allowed. FIR No.436 dated 30.12.2021 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 323, 406, 498-A, 506, 34 IPC registered at Police Station Urban Estate, Hisar, District Hisar, along with all the subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, is quashed qua the petitioner.
