Date of decision: 02.09.2026 ANSHUL CHAHAL AND OTHERS .... PETITIONER(S) VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA AND ANOTHER ...RESPONDENT(S) CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present: Mr. Nikhil Vats, Advocate for the petitioner(s). Ms. Diya Sodhi, Sr. DAG, Haryana. Mr. Amit Khari, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J. (Oral) The prayer in this petition is for quashing of an FIR No.178 dated 12.09.2025 registered under Sections 351(2), 191(3), 190, 126 and 115 of BNS, 2023 and Sections 25(1-B)(a) of Arms Act at Police Station Rohtak Civil Lines, District Rohtak, Haryana along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of a compromise arrived at between the petitioners and respondent No.2.
2. Vide order dated 24.02.2026 this Court had directed the parties to appear before Illaqa Magistrate for getting their statements recorded with regard to the compromise dated 05.02.2026 (Annexure P-3).
3. The Illaqa Magistrate/trial Court was to submit a report in this regard giving certain details as enumerated in the said order.
4. Pursuant to the order dated 24.02.2026 passed by this Court, the parties have appeared before the learned Civil Judge (Jr. Division)-cum- JMIC, Rohtak and as per the report dated 02.06.2026 submitted to this Court, both the parties have got recorded their respective statements in KUSUM 2026.09.03 17:26 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document PHHC Chandigarh
Court.
5. A perusal of the aforesaid report would show that the parties have effected a genuine compromise without there being any pressure, coercion or undue influence. In view of the compromise there is a remote possibility of the complaint coming forward to support the prosecution case. The powers under Section 482 Cr.PC can be exercised in such like situation in order to prevent unnecessary vagaries of criminal trial to be faced by the parties, when there are remote chances of conviction of the accused. The compromise in question is found to be fully in consonance with the direction issued by the Court in “Kulwinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab 2007(3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 and Gian Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., 2012(4) RCR (Crl.) 543”.
6. In view of the aforesaid report of the learned Civil Judge (Jr. Division)-cum-JMIC, Rohtak accompanied by statements of both the parties, the FIR No.178 dated 12.09.2025 registered under Sections 351(2), 191(3), 190, 126 and 115 of BNS, 2023 and Sections 25(1- B)(a) of Arms Act at Police Station Rohtak Civil Lines, District Rohtak, Haryana along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioners.
7. Petition stands disposed of.
