Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State as also learned counsel for O.P. No.2. The petitioners question the order of cognizance dated 24.7.2007 and the entire proceedings in Complaint Case No.2024/07 under Sections-406, 420 and 120B of I.P.C. The original allegations were with regard to the failure to execute the registered sale deed after the petitioners had allegedly received a part payment of 15,15,000/- Learned counsel for the petitioners and the O.P. No.2 are unanimous in their submission that subsequently the balance consideration money has been paid and the sale deed executed. No further dispute, therefore, survives between the parties. Sections-406 and 420 of I.P.C. are both compoundable. In the peculiar facts of the case no useful purpose shall be served of allowing the prosecution to continue, the matter having been compromised. 2 The application is allowed.
