Learned counsel for the State on instructions submits that petitioner is the only accused and respondent no.2 is only the aggrieved person in this FIR.
No useful purpose would be served to keep the FIR pending.
In view of the statements and report of the trial Court and the principles laid down by the Full Bench judgment of this Court in Kulwinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another, 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052, approved by Hon'ble Apex Court in Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab and others (2012) 10 SCC 303, the instant petition is allowed and the aforesaid FIR and all consequent proceedings conducted on the basis thereof for offence under Section 420 IPC (120-B IPC added later on) are quashed.
Needless to say that parties shall remain bound by the terms of compromise and their statements made in the Court below.
