(ORAL) First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.284 under Sec- tions 406 and 420 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') was registered on September 16th, 2006 in Police Station Division No.6, District Jaland- har (Annexure P-1) on the statement of Sushil Sharma, respondent No.2 against the petitioners. By this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Pro- cedure, the petitioner seeks quashing of aforesaid FIR on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-2). The amount in question has been re- ceived by Sushil Sharma as stated by him at bar. In view of this, there should not be any impediment in allow- ing 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. -2- In view of above, petition is accepted. Consequently, FIR No.284 dated September 16th, 2006, under Sections 406 and 420 of IPC, Police Station Division No.6, District Jalandhar and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
