litigation had originated between the petitioners, their co-accused, namely, Kashmir Singh and Pritam Kaur, and respondent No. 4/informant, Manjit Kaur. He further submits that out of four nominated accused, Kashmir Singh and Pritam Kaur have since died and proceedings against them have been abated vide order dated 12.2.2014, passed by learned Trial Court. He further submits that due to intervention of respectable and elderly people of the society, the dispute has been resolved. At present, there remains no ill-will amongst the private parties. He further submits that the offences alleged to have been committed by the petitioners were personal in nature and that in view of the compromise so effected between the private parties, pendency of the impugned FIR and consequential proceedings emanating therefrom would be sheer abuse of the process of law. In support of his contentions, learned counsel has placed reliance on the judgments of Hon’ble the Supreme Court delivered in the cases of Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab, (2008) 4 SCC 582 and Gian Singh v. State of Punjab and another, 2012 (4) R.C.R. (Criminal) 543 (SC), and judgment of a 5-Judge Bench of this Court in the matter of Kulwinder Singh and others v. State of Punjab and another, 2007 (3) RCR (Criminal) 1052 .
