Bhupinder Singh ..Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ..Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. A.G. Punjab, for respondent No.1 – State. Respondent No.2 in person. NAWAB SINGH, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioner has sought quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR') No.55 dated March 31st, 2006, under Sections 420, 465 and 471 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC'), Police Station Division No.1, Jalandhar, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1). Quashing has been sought on the ground that during pendency of the trial, parties have compromised the matter. In this case, FIR was registered on the statement of Harbans Singh Chandi, Managing Director, Sajan Hire Purchase Ltd., 5-B, Patel Chowk, Jalandhar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that compromise deed (Annexure P-2) duly attested by respondent No.2 has been placed on record, whereby, all the disputes have been settled. In these circumstances, 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.55 dated March 31st, 2006, under Sections 420, 465 and 471 IPC, Police Station Division No.1, Jalandhar, District Jalandhar (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 14.11.2011 (NAWAB SINGH) neetu JUDGE
