He further affirms that the learned Trial Court had already compounded the offence under Section 420 vide order dated 02.05.2017 on the basis of his statement recorded.

Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the parties. As such, following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr. (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. (2014) 6 SCC 466, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner will be an exercise in futility.

7.

As such, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.212/2012 dated 21.09.2012 registered at PS: Kotwali under Section 420/34 of IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 8.

Accordingly, the present petition alongwith the pending applications is disposed of.
