(ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioner has sought quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR') No.225 dated September 19th, 2010, under Sections 406, 420, 506 and 511/120-B of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC'), Police Station Sadar, Jullunder, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1). Quashing has been sought on the ground that parties have compromised the matter. Respondent No.2 has tendered his affidavit in this regard and added that he does not want to continue with the proceedings. 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. In view of above, petition is accepted. Consequently, FIR No.225 dated September 19th, 2010, under Sections 406, 420, 506 and 511/120-B IPC, Police Station Sadar, Jullunder, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 31.10.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
