In response to the same, Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Khanna recorded the statements of the parties, whereby, they stated that they have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P3) 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.No.157 dated September 08th, 2007 (Annexure P1), registered under Sections 406, 420/120B IPC in Police Station City Khanna and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
