The second respondent herein is the de facto complainant in the above case. Pending this petition, the matter has been settled between the second respondent, de facto complainant and the petitioners. Since the subject matter of the dispute is a money dispute which has been settled between parties and which are strictly personal between them, applying the ratio in Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab 2003 (3) KLT 19 (SC). I am inclined to compound the above offences by exercising the power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. C.C.No.2516/2003, pending before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-II, Ernakulam shall stand quashed. This Criminal M.C is allowed as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dmb
