NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) This petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed seeking quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No. 52 dated March 27th, 2002 registered under Sections 379, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 477-A/120-B of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Banga, District Nawanshahar. Mr. Shamsher Singh, Branch Manager, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Banga, District Nawanshahar has filed affidavit stating that matter has been compromised and the entire payment has been paid by the petitioners to the Bank vide demand drafts photo copies of which are Annexure P-3 (collectively) and the Bank has no objection if the FIR is quashed against the petitioners. 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. 52 dated March 27th, 2002 registered under Sections 379, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 477-A/120-B IPC at Police Station Banga, District Nawanshahar and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 23.12.2011.
