Learned counsel for respondents No. 2 to 4 submits that the settlement in terms of Memorandum of Understanding of 5th June, 2014 (Annexure-P-4) has been already acted upon and the complainant party i.e. respondents No. 2 & 3 have no objection to quashing of the FIR in question.
Attention of this Court has been drawn to the affidavits of respondents No. 2 and 3 and it is submitted by learned counsel for respondents that Director of respondent –Company is present in the Court and even he has no objection to the quashing of FIR in question.
Since investigation in this case is at a crucial stage, therefore, this

Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings arising out of FIR in question.
This petition and applications are accordingly disposed of while refraining to comment upon merits of the case.
