Madan Mohan Abbot vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court held that in cases involving personal disputes, particularly those arising from business dealings, the court may quash FIRs based on compromises between parties, even if the charges include non-compoundable offenses under Section 406 IPC. The Court emphasized that the continuation of proceedings serves no useful purpose when the complainant has passed away and the possibility of conviction is ruled out. The appeal was allowed, quashing the FIR based on the compromise reached between the parties.
