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 the Supreme Court has ruled that in such type of cases where the dispute is of personal nature, Court should ordinarily accept the compromise. 5.

In view of the facts delineated above, the petition is accepted. The above said FIR and the proceedings connected therewith are hereby quashed. 6.
