Crl. Misc. No. M-32358 of 2015 has been filed by petitioners, namely, Sukhwinder Singh @ Sukhwinder Kumar and Gurdeep Singh Virdi for quashing of DDR No. 23 dated 4.7.2015 registered under Section 354-A IPC at Police Station Rahon Tehsil and District SBS Nagar in case FIR No. 72 dated 4.7.2015, on the basis of compromise. 3.

In response to the said direction issued by this Court, the parties appeared before the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, SBS Nagar and their statements were recorded. After recording of their statements, a report along with the statements of the parties has been sent, which is on record wherein the factum of compromise has been affirmed by the petitioners in both the cases. It has also been mentioned in the report that the compromise arrived at between the parties is genuine and same is without any pressure from either side. 5. Both the FIR as well as the DDR case arise out of same occurrence/incident. The parties to both the cases have settled their dispute by way of compromise and decided not to pursue the cases registered against each other. The purpose of the compromise is to lead peaceful life and to bury all the differences that arose between them. Now both the parties have no grouse each other. 6. The parties to both the cases have settled their dispute by way of compromise and decided not to pursue the cases registered against each other. The purpose of the compromise is to lead peaceful life and to bury all the differences that arose between them. Now both the parties have no grouse each other. 6. Since the dispute has been settled by way of compromise and parties are not interested to further proceed with the FIR as well as the DDR case, no purpose would be served in case proceedings are continued in future as it would amount to wastage of precious time of the Court. Moreover, continuation of proceedings would not be in the interest of the parties as the complainant in both the cases are not going to support the case of the prosecution. The purpose of the compromise is to maintain peace and harmony in the relations. 7. It has also been held by Five Judges' Bench of our own High Court in Kulwinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and others, 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 that this Court has wide power to quash the criminal proceedings even in non-compoundable offences, notwithstanding the bar under Section 320 of the Criminal Procedure Code in order to prevent abuse of the process of law or to secure the ends of justice. 8. Accordingly, both the present petitions are allowed and the impugned criminal proceedings arising out of FIR No. 72 dated 4.7.2015 registered under Sections 323/324/34 IPC at Police Station Rahon, Tehsil and District SBS Nagar and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners, namely, Amandeep Singh, Lovepreet Singh @ Labhu, Harbhinder Singh @ Babba, Jagtar @ Lali and Manpreet Singh @ Manu as well as DDR No. 23 dated 4.7.2015 registered under Section 354-A IPC at Police Station Rahon Tehsil and District SBS Nagar in aforesaid FIR and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners, namely, Sukhwinder Singh @ Sukhwinder Kumar and Gurdeep Singh Virdi, are hereby quashed.
