Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl. A.G. Punjab, for respondent No.1 – State. Complainant in person with Mr. Narinder Kumar, Advocate. NAWAB SINGH, J. (ORAL) By this petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioners seek quashing of First Information Report (for short 'FIR) No.170 dated December 29th, 2010 (Annexure P-1), registered under Sections 406 and 420 of Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC') in Police Station Sadar Moga, District Moga. Quashing has been sought on the ground that parties have compromised the matter. Compromise-deed (Annexure P-2) has 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. Criminal Misc. No. M-12580 of 2011 2 In upshot, for the reasons recorded supra, the petition is accepted, FIR No.170 dated December 29th, 2010 (Annexure P-1), registered under Sections 406 and 420 IPC in Police Station Sadar Moga, District Moga and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
