DATED : 08th SEPTEMBER, 2011. P.C. 1. By this Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners are praying for quashing and setting aside the FIR No.65/2011 dated 8th March, 2011 pending with the Economic Offences Wing, Unit III, Crime Branch, CID, Mumbai. 2. The FIR is in respect of the offence punishable under Sections 420, 506(II) read with Section 120-B of Indian Penal Code. After registration of the FIR, the dispute has been amicably resolved between the private parties. It is common ground that the offences, except under Section 120-B of IPC, are compoundable offences. It is for that reason, PPD 2 4WP.1108-11 the petitioners have been advised to approach this Court for quashing of FIR itself. 3. As the principal offence is compoundable and the private parties have amicably settled their dispute, the allegations pertaining to criminal conspiracy punishable under Section 120-B of IPC cannot be taken forward. The principal amount involved has been made over to respondent No.3. In the circumstances, in the interest of justice, we deem it appropriate to accede to the relief claimed in this Petition in terms of prayer clause (a). 4. It is common ground that other reliefs do not survive for consideration. It is also agreed between the parties that although co- accused Pavan Modi is not one of the petitioners in the present petition, the relief granted to the petitioners will enure in his favour for the simple reason that he has acted as a broker in relation to the transaction in question. Accordingly by granting relief in terms of prayer clause (a), it would mean that the entire FIR is quashed and set aside. Ordered accordingly. Writ Petition is disposed of. (P. D. KODE, J.) (A. M.
