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. 3. In view of above, petition is accepted. Consequently, FIR No.115 dated September 03rd, 2009, registered under Section 420 IPC in Police Station Lehra, District Sangrur and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
