2. The gist of the allegation is that on account of prior enmity, the petitioners had attacked the defacto complainant with hands / knives besides committing the offence of criminal intimidation and thus committed the aforesaid offences.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the defacto complainant/the second respondent would submit that the petitioner and the defacto complainant are closely related to each other and that the parties have arrived at a compromise and filed a joint compromise memo and both the parties have agreed that the impugned F.I.R may be quashed.

Though the FIR has been registered for the offence under Section 307 of the IPC, admittedly, none has been injured and therefore, this Court is of the view that the impugned prosecution can be quashed as the dispute is private in nature.
