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 the above, the petition is accepted, FIR 164 dated December 17th, 2010 (Annexure P1) registered under Sections 406, 420/120B IPC in Police Station Mukerian, District Hoshiarpur and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
