NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) By this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioner seeks quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.139 dated July 28th, 2007, registered under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station A Division Ram Bagh, District Amritsar. By order dated May 10th, 2011, Ritu Bahri. J. directed the parties to appear before the trial Court and the trial Court was directed to record the statements of the parties. In compliance with the same, Judicial Magistrate First Class, Amritsar recorded the statements of the parties whereby they stated that they have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) has also been placed on record. Indeed, the dispute between the parties was of personal nature. In view of this, there should not be any impediment in allowing the parties to compromise the matter. Support to this view can be had from the authority 'Madan Mohan Abbot Vs. State of Punjab' 2008 (2) RCR (Criminal) 429, wherein, Hon'ble Supreme Court has ruled that in such type of cases, where the dispute is of personal nature, Court should ordinarily, accept the compromise. Criminal Misc. No. M-11799 of 2010 (2) In view of above, petition is accepted. Consequently, FIR No.139 dated July 28th, 2007, registered under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC at Police Station A Division Ram Bagh, District Amritsar and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
