No. 2 : Mr. Radha Mohan Pathak, Advocate ------ 3 21.1.2009 In the instant application the petitioner had prayed for quashing of the order dated 29.5.2007 passed in Complaint Case no. 732 of 2006 by the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bikramganj, Rohtas, whereby he has taken cognizance under section 420 I.P.C. as also under section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act. Mr. Radha Mohan Pathak, Advocate, has put in appearance on behalf of O.P. No. 2 and a supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner stating therein that the parties have compromised their differences out of court and as the matter has ended in compromise, the complainant was no more eager to pursue the matter. Since the parties have already amicably compounded their differences and cordiality has been arrived at between the - 2 - parties, no gainful purpose would be served by permitting the complaint petition to continue. Accordingly the impugned order taking cognizance is hereby quashed and the application is allowed. Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
