5. Learned advocate for the applicant has taken this
Court through the factual matrix arising out of the
present application.
6. At the outset, it is submitted that the parties have amicably resolved the dispute. In support of such
submission made at the bar by the learned
advocates appearing for the respective parties, they
have placed on record affidavit of settlement duly
signed by the complainant. The complainant is
present in the Court and on inquiry, confirms the
factum of settlement.
7. Since now, the dispute with reference to the
impugned FIR is settled and resolved by and
between parties, which is confirmed by the original complainant through learned advocate, the trial
would be futile and any further continuation of
proceedings would amount to abuse of process of
law. In view of the above and in view of the
judgment in case of Gian Singh v. State of Punjab
& Another, reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303, the
impugned FIR is required to be quashed and set
aside.
