Investigating Officers in C.R.Nos.54 of 2010 and 55 of 2010 registered with 2 Cri.Appln. 213-2011 and 210-2011 Juhu Police Station on 13.2.2010 present. 2 Heard. Perused applications and the annexures therewith particularly, the affidavits dated 28 th March, 2011 of the respective applicants. 3 These applications have been moved for quashing and setting aside FIRs bearing C.R.No. 54/2010 under Sections 323, 324, 452, 504, 506(II) read with 34 and C.R.No.55/2010 registered under Sections 323, 324, 452, 504 read with 34 of the IPC, 1860 with Juhu Police Station on 13 th February, 2010. Both these C.Rs. arise out of common incident and essentially are in nature of cross complaints. 4 According to the learned Advocates Mr.C.K. Pendse and Mr.Sayyed Zia for the applicants in the respective applications, the incident leading to the registration of the crime was outcome of disagreement between the parties over the premises which were given for redevelopment and now the 3 Cri.Appln. 213-2011 and 210-2011 parties have reached the amicable settlement and have resolved all their disputes connected with the property as per the Consent Terms annexed to the applications. Parties were questioned and they confirmed the fact. 5 With the settlement of the property dispute, the root cause of the strife between the parties has come to an end. Continuation of the criminal prosecution would not only aggravate the issues but also clog the judicial system with the cause in which parties are not interested. Exercise of inherent powers to end such prosecutions will meet the ends of justice. 6 Crimes registered vide C.R.Nos.54/2010 and 55/2010 at Juhu Police Station are, therefore, quashed. Applications are disposed of, accordingly. (U.D. SALVI, J.)
