This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No.172 dated 11.11.2009 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 166, 323, 342, 365, 34 IPC, registered with Police Station, Kalanwali, District Sirsa and consequent proceedings, on the basis of compromise dated 5.5.2011, Annexure P-2. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that Crl. Misc. No. M-14415 of 2011 [2] on account of some mis-understanding, FIR came to be lodged. On the intervention of respectables, the disputes have been settled. 3. Learned counsel for respondent No.2- complainant contends that indeed, all the disputes have been settled. 4. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from Bhoop Singh, Assistant Sub Inspector, contends that in enquiry, it has been found that disputes have been settled. 5. Keeping in view the fact that complainant does not want to appear as witness and does not want to prosecute the petitioners in prosecution of the FIR case, it would be an exercise in futility if the proceedings are allowed to continue. In such circumstances, continuance of proceedings shall result in abuse of process of Court. 6. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.172 dated 11.11.2009 (Annexure P-1) under Sections 166, 323, 342, 365, 34 IPC, registered with Police Station, Kalanwali, District Sirsa and consequent proceedings are hereby quashed.
