M.G. NO. 1800/2013. The Petitioners are seeking quashing of the aforesaid FIRs and the proceedings arising therefrom.
Both the parties are present in court and the Investigating Officer of the case is also present. Gounsel for the petitioners submits that both the parties have amicably settled their disputes in terms of Gompromise Deed dated ll"^ September 2012 and with the said settlement having arrived at between the parties, no more dispute survives between them. Gounsel also submits that both the parties are residents of the same area and the said FIRs were registered due to minor scuffle between them. Gounsel also submits that only minor injuries were sustained by the complainant and the victim in both the said FIRs.

Considering the fact that the parties have amicably resolved all their inter se disputes , I am of the viewthat no usefulpurposewouldbe servedin keeping the said FIRs and the proceedings arising therefrom alive any further against the petitioners.
