KUSUM 2026.07.08 17:20 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document PHHC Chandigarh CRM-M-4098-2026 2 However, the statement of petitioner No.2 namely Ritu Poonia has not been recorded, as she was found innocent during the course of the investigation. 5. 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 complaint 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”. 6. In view of the aforesaid report of the learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Hisar accompanied by statements of both the parties, the FIR No.0069 dated 24.02.2023 (Annexure P-1) registered under Sections 147, 149, 294, 323, 379-B, 452, 506 of the IPC, 1860 (Sections 34 IPC added and Sections 147, 149, 379-B of IPC deleted later on) at Police Station Urban Estate Hisar, District Hisar along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioners. 7. Petition stands disposed of.
