IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-13022 of 2011 Date of Decision: 14.7.2011. Kulwant Singh & others ....Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & another ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Gurcharan Dass, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. J.S. Bhullar, AAG, Punjab. Ms. Anita Sharma, Advocate for the complainant. NAWAB SINGH.J (ORAL) By this petition, under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioners seek quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.255 dated December 20th, 2009 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471/120-B of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Model Town, District Ludhiana. Quashing has been sought on the ground that parties have compromised the matter. Affidavit of Iqbal Kaur (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.255 dated December 20th, 2009 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471/120-B IPC at Police Station Model Town, District Ludhiana and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 14.7.2011.
