RESPONDENT(S) CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: Mr. Hemen Aggarwal+ Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Manoj Bajaj, Addl.AG, Haryana. Mr. AK Rampal, Advocate, for respondent No.2. AJAI LAMBA, J. (Oral) This petition under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure, has been filed for quashing of case FIR No.33 dated 22.2.2008 under Sections 420, 406, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Fatehgarh Sahib (Annexure P-1). Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that there was some dispute in regard to money. Respondent No.2/complainant has been compensated by way of payment of Rs.8,34,000/- and no dues are required to be paid by the petitioner to respondent No.2. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 contends that, indeed, all the disputes between the parties have been settled by way of amicable Criminal Misc. No.33986 -M of 2009 2 settlement/compromise deed (Annexure P-2). The petitioner has paid the entire amount due towards respondent No.2 and, therefore, respondent No.2 does not want to proceed against the petitioner. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from ASI Balwinder Singh, states that the factum of payment has been recorded by the Investigating Agency also and a cancellation report has been prepared. Considering the consistent stand of the prosecution/complainant to the effect that the dues towards respondent No.2 have been paid and respondent No.2 does not want to prosecute the petitioner, I am of the considered opinion that no purpose, in law, would be served by continuance of the proceedings. The petition is allowed. FIR No.33 dated 22.2.2008 under Sections 420, 406, Indian Penal Code, Police Station, Fatehgarh Sahib (Annexure P-1) is hereby quashed.
