(ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioners have sought quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR') No.296 dated December 31st, 2010, under Sections 420 and 468/120-B of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC'), Police Station Chhehartta, Amritsar (Annexure P-1). Quashing has been sought on the ground that parties have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-4) has been placed on record. Respondent No.2 has stated at bar that she has compromised the matter with 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.296 dated December 31st, 2010, under Sections 420 and 468/120-B IPC, Police Station Chhehartta, Amritsar (Annexure P-1)and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 31.10.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
