((-1-)) mst IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1412 OF 2009 Basab Paul Applicant versus State of Maharashtra & anr. Respondents C.K.Pendse for applicant. Miss A.t.Javeri, APP for the State. S.Singh i/by V.B.Thadani for respondent no.2. CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 22nd April 2009 PC : 1. Rule. Learned APP waives service for the State. Learned counsel for the second respondent also waives service. Taken up forthwith. 2. This is an application under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as "the said Code") for quashing the proceedings on the basis of FIR registered at the instance of second respondent alleging commission of offence under section 506(2) and section 509 of the said Code. My attention is invited to the ((-2-)) compromise entered into between the parties in an appeal on the original side of this Court. The second respondent has filed a reply stating that all the disputes between the parties which were of purely civil nature have been settled. 3. A perusal of the FIR shows that the dispute over the immovable property led to registration of the FIR.. Now the said dispute has been admittedly settled. Now, no purpose will be served by continuing the prosecution. Chances of conviction are very bleak. Considering the peculiar facts of the case this is a fit case for exercise of power under section 482 of the said Code. 4. Hence, I pass following order :- (a) Rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). (A.S.OKA, J.)
