Mr. Sabard waives notice for Respondent No. 2 in Criminal Writ Petitions Nos. 1790 and 1791 of 2004. Mr. Purwant waives notice for Respondent No. 2 in Criminal Writ Petition No. 1792 of 2004. Mr. Shinde, A.P.P., wavies notice for Respondent No. 1 in all these writ petitions. . It is not in dispute that cross cases have been filed by the rival groups. Now the parties have amicably resolved all the disputes. This assertion is made in each of these petitions and is reiterated across the Bar by the writ petitioners through their Counsel. In view of the amicable resolution of the disputes, there is no reason to continue the criminal cases pending against the respective Petitioners. Even the learned A.P.P. supports the argument that in the fact situation of the present case, it would be appropriate for this Court to quash the respective criminal cases in the interest of justice. I am in agreement with this submission. Such order would further the cause of justice. If the parties have buried the disputes, it would be appropriate to quash the pending proceedings against the respective writ petitioners to do substantial justice. In the circumstances, all the three petitions succeed. Rule made absolute on the above terms. . Parties to act on the authenticated copy of this order. (A.M.KHANWILKAR,J.)
