Learned counsel for the petitioner states that there was a landlord-tenant dispute. The dispute has been resolved. The shop in question has been vacated and respondent No.2-complainant has paid a sum of Rs.1,25,000/- to Ramesh Kumar. The contention is that in view of the fact that it was a dispute of civil nature, which has been settled, the respondent-complainant does not want to continue with the proceedings. Learned counsel for the respondent-complainant prays for Criminal Misc.18395-M of 2007 2 quashing of the FIR as the dispute which was of civil and commercial nature, has already been settled. Learned counsel for the respondent-State also has no objection to the quashing of the FIR and proceedings, in view of the compromise. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.73 dated 8.2.2008 under Sections 420, 467, 468, 120-B, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Civil Lines, Karnal (Annexure P-1) and subsequent proceedings are quashed.
