IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-4246 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : 18.7.2011. Gurjit Singh ...... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & another ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Aman Bansal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Bhullar, AAG, Punjab. Mr. S.S. Kamboj, Advocate, for the complainant. NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) By this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioner seeks quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.39 dated February 26th, 2007 registered under Section 406 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Raikot, District Ludhiana. Quashing has been sought on the ground that parties have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-1) 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.39 dated February 26th, 2007 registered under Section 406 IPC at Police Station Raikot, District Ludhiana and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 18.7.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) SN JUDGE
