(ORAL) By this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioner seeks quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.122 dated November 19th, 2010 (Annexure P-1), registered under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') in Police Station Amargarh, District Sangrur on the statement of Karnail Singh-respondent No.2 against Mohabbat Singh-petitioner/accused. Quashing has been sought on the ground that parties have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) has been placed on record. Karnail Singh (respondent No.2) and Nirmal Singh-complainants have added that they have no objection if the aforesaid FIR and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 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 Criminal Misc. No. M-12943 of 2011 2 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 upshot, for the reasons recorded supra, the petition is accepted, FIR No.122 dated November 19th, 2010 (Annexure P-1), registered under Section 420 IPC in Police Station Amargarh, District Sangrur and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
