Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & another ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Vishal Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. J.S. Bhullar, AAG, Punjab. 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.232 dated October 13th, 1999 registered under Sections 406 and 420 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Sarabha Nagar, District Ludhiana. By order dated March 7th, 2011, Daya Chaudhary. J. directed the parties to appear before the trial Court and the trial Court was directed to record the statements of the parties. In compliance with the same, Judicial Magistrate First Class, Ludhiana recorded the statements of the parties whereby they stated that they have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) has also been placed on record. 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.232 dated October 13th, 1999 registered under Sections 406 and 420 IPC at Police Station Sarabha Nagar, District Ludhiana and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 25.7.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) SN JUDGE
