(ORAL) By this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioners seek quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.6 dated February 6th, 2005 registered under Sections 406, 420, 464, 465, 467, 468 and 471/120-B of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Noorpur Bedi, District Ropar. By order dated August 2nd, 2011 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mahesh Grover directed the parties to appear before the trial Court and the trial Court was directed to record their statements. In compliance with the same, Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Anandpur Sahib recorded the statements of the parties whereby they have stated that they have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) has 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. In view of above, petition is accepted. Consequently, FIR No.6 dated February 6th, 2005 registered under Sections 406, 420, 464, 465, 467, 468 and 471/120-B IPC at Police Station Noorpur Bedi, District Ropar and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 7.12.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) SN JUDGE
