VIJENDER SINGH MALIK, J.
Vinay Mahesh Agrawal, Mahesh Agrawal, Promila M. Agrawal and Bindu Agrawal, the petitioners have brought this petition under the provisions of section 482 Cr. P.C., for quashing of FIR No.18 dated 1.3.2013 (Annexure P1) registered at Police Station Women Cell, Patiala District Patiala for an offence punishable under sections 406, 498-A, 323, 312, 506 read with section 120-B IPC alongwith all the subsequent proceedings arising out of the same on the basis of compromise dated 12.3.2013 [Annexure P2].
While issuing notice of motion, the parties were directed to appear before learned Illaqa Magistrate on 16.05.2013 for getting their statements recorded in support of the compromise. Learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Patiala has sent her report in this regard. She has reported that she has recorded the statements of the parties in support of the compromise and has found that their statements are voluntary and without any influence or pressure.
Compromise not only brings peace and harmony between the parties to a dispute but also restores tranquility in the society. In the present case, where the parties have started residing together happily, the compromise (Annexure P2) appears to be just and fair, brought about without there being any pressure on the wife, effect of which is of advancing the cause of justice. In view of the ratio of decision of this court in Dharambir Vs. State of Haryana, 2005 (3) RCR (Criminal) 426, a case regarding non-compoundable matrimonial offence, as is the present case, can be quashed on the basis of compromise.
Thus, keeping in view the fact that the parties have settled the dispute and that the settlement between them is just and fair, brought about without any pressure upon any one and that the same would be securing the ends of justice, I accept the petition and quash FIR No.18 dated 1.3.2013 (Annexure P1) registered at Police Station Women Cell, Patiala District Patiala for an offence punishable under sections 406, 498-A, 323, 312, 506 read with section 120-B IPC alongwith all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom.
