Gurbir Singh – complainant/respondent No.2 is present in person. He has apprised this Court that the dispute was with regard to 12 Marlas of land in the area of Dharamkot, Tehsil Moga, purchased by him from the petitioners. He has admitted that the matter has been settled between them and the petitioners have executed the sale-deed in his favour. Thus, he does not want to prosecute them. Admittedly, 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 Criminal Misc. No. M-15314 of 2011(O&M) [2] 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. 4. In view of above, petition is accepted. Consequently, FIR No.39 dated April 17 th, 2011 under Sections 420/120B IPC registered in Police Station Dharamkot, District Moga and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
