Learned counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent also affirmed the assertion made by the petitioner that the matter has since been settled. 3. This is not a case arising out of a money dispute pure and simple so as to apply the ratio in 2008 (4) SCC 582 – Madan Mohan Abbot v. State of Punjab. Hence, the petitioner and the 3rd respondent may report the alleged compromise to the investigating officer for appropriate action. In case, notwithstanding such report, a final report charge-sheeting the petitioner, is filed before the court, it shall be open to the petitioner to assail the same if grounds exist to do so. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
