The State of Maharashtra and Anr.

... Respondents Mr. Pritam Prakash Runwal for the Applicant.

Dr. F.R. Shaikh, APP for the Respondent No.1. Mr. Ramesh Cheulkar for the Respondent No.2.

CORAM : A.S. OKA & ANUJA PRABHUDESSAI, JJ.

DATE : 12th JANUARY, 2017 P.C.

There is material on record to show that damage was caused to three other vehicles and therefore, even Section 427 of the Indian Penal Code has been applied. There is no settlement pleaded by the applicant with the owners of the vehicles. This application is filed for quashing the FIR only on the ground of settlement. Unless there is a settlement with all the victims of the offence, we cannot quash the criminal proceedings on the ground of settlement. Faced with this difficulty, the learned counsel appearing for the applicant seeks permission to withdraw the application. Accordingly, the application is dismissed as withdrawn.
