Petitioners Versus State of Punjab & another ...... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Sandeep Khunger, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. AG, Punjab. Respondent No.2 in person with counsel Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Arora, Advocate. NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) This petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed seeking quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.118 dated October 21st, 2010 registered under Sections 406 and 420 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') at Police Station Ghagga, Tehsil Samana, District Patiala. It has been contended that the parties have compromised the matter. In this regard, Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) coupled with affidavit of the complainant-respondent No.2 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.118 dated October 21st, 2010 registered under Sections 406 and 420 IPC at Police Station Ghagga, Tehsil Samana, District Patiala and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed. 5.12.2011.
