(ORAL) This order shall dispose of above mentioned two petitions because in both the petitions, quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR') No.3 dated January 20th, 2011 registered under Sections 420/120-B of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') in Police Station Dugri, District Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) is sought. 2. On the statement of Surjit Kaur-respondent No.2, aforesaid FIR was registered against the petitioners. During the pendency of the petition, parties have compromised the matter. Surjit Kaur-respondent No.2 is present in person with her counsel and has tendered her affidavit stating that she has compromised the matter. Criminal Misc. No. M-6794 of 2011 (O&M) 2 The dispute was on account of non-execution of sale-deed. She has received the earnest money. Civil Suit for specific performance of agreement to sell filed by Ajay Sehgal against Surjit Kaur-respondent No.2 has also been withdrawn. 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. 3. In view of above, the petitions are accepted, FIR No.3 dated January 20th, 2011 registered under Sections 420/120-B IPC in Police Station Dugri, District Ludhiana (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 06.12.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
