L.N.MITTAL,J. - (1.) MANOJ Kumar and his father Ram Lal have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short, Cr. P.C.), for quashing FIR No. 35 dated 15.01.2011 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 406, 498-A, 323, 506 IPC registered at Police Station Ambala Cantt., District Ambala, in view of compromise (Annexure P-2) effected with respondent No.
(2.) - complainant. 2. Learned counsel for respondent No. 2-complainant states that parties have effected compromise Annexure P-2 and, therefore, respondent No. 2-complainant has no objection to the quashing of the impugned FIR . It is also stated by counsel for both the parties that pursuant to compromise, marriage between petitioner No. 1 and respondent No. 2 has since been dissolved by decree of divorce by mutual consent and requisite amount has since been paid by the petitioners to respondent No. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. In appropriate cases, FIR can be quashed on the basis of compromise by exercising power under Section 482 of Cr. P. C., even if the offences are not compoundable. It was so held by Full Bench of this Court in the case of Kulwinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 2007(2) Law Herald (Punjab & Haryana) 2205.

However, their marriage has since been dissolved by decree of divorce pursuant to compromise. Necessary amount has also been paid to respondent No. 2-complainant by the petitioners. Accordingly, it is fit case in which FIR should be quashed.;
