In a judgment rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Narinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and another, 2014(6) SCC 466 , the Hon'ble Apex Court has laid down certain principles and guidelines which should be kept in mind while quashing of FIRs pertaining to no compoundable offence. For ready reference paragraphs No.29.2 and 29.5 are reproduced as under :- "29.2. When the parties have reached the settlement and on that basis petition for quashing the criminal proceedings is filed, the guiding factor in such cases would be to secure: (i) ends of justice, or (ii) to prevent abuse of the process of any court. While exercising the power the High Court is to form an opinion on either of the aforesaid two objectives. 29.5. While exercising the power the High Court is to form an opinion on either of the aforesaid two objectives. 29.5. While exercising its powers, the High Court is to examine as to whether the possibility of conviction is remote and bleak and continuation of criminal cases would put the accused to great oppression and prejudice and extreme injustice would be caused to him by not quashing the criminal case." 9. Considering the facts that both the parties were major, having love affair and that the complainant was expecting at the time of registering FIR as she has delivered a baby girl few days back, to meet the ends of justice, more so, when continuation of trial would not only affect the relations of the parties but would have bearing on the future of the child. The FIR No. 27, dated 1 st February, 2020 registered under Sections 376(2) (n), 406, 420, 109, 506 of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Civil Lines Patiala, Patiala and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom is quashed. 10.
