KANADE J. DATED: 1ST JULY, 2010 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the learned Counsel for the Respondent No.2. 2. This is an application for quashing a complaint filed by the Respondent No.2 vide C.R. No. 140 of 2009 registered with the Khar Police Station for the offence punishable under sections 465, 471, 406, 420, 341 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The Respondent No.2 has filed his affidavit in reply stating therein that he has no objection if the said complaint is quashed since they have amicably 2 settled the dispute. The parties are close relatives. The Complainant is the maternal uncle of the Respondent No.2 and he is permanently residing at United States. The Respondent No.2 is present in the Court and he reiterates what is stated by him in the affidavit and has stated that he has no objection for quashing of the complaint. In my view, there is no impediment in quashing the complaint under section 482 of the Cr.P.C. since the dispute between them is a personal dispute and is not arising out of any commercial transaction. The Apex Court in the case of Jagdish Chanana & Ors. vs. State of Haryana and Anr. reported in 2008 AIR (SC) 1968 and also held that no useful purpose will be served if the complaint is kept pending, particularly when the Complainant does not wish to pursue the complaint. 4. As a result, the application is allowed. The FIR which is registered with the Khar Police Station vide CR. No. 140 of 2009 and criminal case arising out of the said complaint being CC No. 1519 of 2009 pending in the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate, 9th Court at Bandra is quashed and set aside. 5.
