Petitioner seeks to quash the proceedings against him on the strength of the compounding petition filed by the parties. I have heard learned counsel for petitioner, respondent No.2 and the learned Public Prosecutor. 2. It is seen from the compounding petition which is signed by petitioner and respondent No.2 (as petitioner No.2 in the compounding petition) that the dispute is settled between the parties outside court and that respondent No.2 does not want to proceed further in the matter. In the light of the settlement reached between petitioner and respondent No.2 I am inclined to allow this petition. CRL.M.C. No.4468 of 2010 -: 2 :- Resultantly, this Criminal Miscellaneous Case is allowed. Annexure-I, FIR in Crime No.90 of the Kottarakkara police station, cognizance taken thereon and further proceedings pursuant to it against petitioner are quashed. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
