Rule is made returnable forthwith. Heard finally be consent of parties. 2. By way of present petition, the petitioner is seeking to quash C.C.No.273/PS/2006 pending before the learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate arising out of C.R.No.499/2005. 3. The son of respondent No.1 i.e. Sameer Prakash Satam met with an accident which occurred when the petitioner was driving a vehicle and the said vehicle hit the said Sameer Satam. The incident had taken place around 6.30 a.m. It is the petitioner, who had taken the deceased to the hospital after the incident had taken place. 2 3162.10-wp 4. The respondent No.1 is personally present in the Court. He states that he has no grievance against the petitioner. The petitioner has handed over demand draft No.028986 dated 9th April 2011 drawn on Axis Bank Ltd for an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- to the father of the victim towards compensation. 5. From the F.I.R. it can clearly be seen that immediately after the accident, the petitioner had taken the victim to the hospital and admitted him to save his life. However, unfortunately, the victim could not survive. Even from the perusal of material on record it cannot be said that the petitioner was driving the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to allow this petition. Rule is, thus, made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). (B.R.GAVAI, J.)
