He has invited my attention to the order passed by the learned Single Judge (Coram : R.Y. Ganoo, J.) dated 24th June, 2010 which was pleased to take Consent Terms on record and passed decree in terms of Consent Terms. He also invited my attention to para 8 of the Consent Terms wherein respondent no.2 has agreed and has undertaken to compound/withdraw the criminal complaint. 4 In view of the Consent Terms which are filed by both the parties and in view of the undertaking given by the respondent no.2, there is no impediment for quashing the said complaint particularly, since it is compoundable and secondly, since the dispute between the parties is a personal one. In view of catena of judgments of the Apex 3 Court and this Court, therefore, such a complaint can be quashed under Section 482 of th Cr.P.C. 5 Counsel for respondent no.2, on instructions from his client, submits that he has no objection if the complaint is quashed. He also affirms the Consent Terms were in fact filed in this court in the civil suit. 6 Under these circumstances, therefore, the criminal application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) and is, accordingly, disposed of.
