The only contention raised by the petitioners to quash the case is that there was a settlement of the dispute with second respondent and therefore, even if the case is to be tried, there is no chance of a conviction. But nothing whatsoever was produced along with the petition to show that there was a settlement of the dispute with the second respondent as claimed. Even though petitioner was directed to produce materials or agreement to show settlement with the defacto complainant, nothing was produced. In such circumstances petition is dismissed.
