file his Vakalatnama in the Registry. I have also heard the respondent no.2 - complainant, who is present before this Court. Learned advocate, Ms. Raval identifies respondent no.2 and confirms correctness and genuineness of the affidavit filed by him.
5. When the matter is called out, learned advocates appearing for the parties have submitted that now the dispute is amicably settled between the parties and, therefore, the respondent no.2 has filed an affidavit before this Court, copy of which is placed on record at Page No.10. It is also stated at bar that there is no antecedents of the applicant. Upon making inquiry, the respondent no.2, who is present before this Court, has stated that he has settled the dispute with the present applicant and, therefore, if the impugned FIR is quashed, he has no objection.
6. Therefore 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 her 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 Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303, Narinder Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab & Anr., reported in 2014(2) Crime 67 (SC) and Parbatbhai Aahir @ Parbatbhai Bhimsinhbhai Karmur
