4.

It was a dispute between the neighbours at the instance compound wall. The parties have amicably settled the dispute out of the Court. The settlement deed dated 12.08.2024 has been executed between the parties. All of them decided to settle rival cases to maintain peace and harmony. The son of informant Nileshkumar Vilas Jaiswal is present who has been authorized by the informant to settle the matter. He has filed affidavit of his mother stating about settlement and gave no objection to quash and set aside the proceeding.

We have gone through the nature of injuries which are quiet simple. The alleged offence cannot be termed as heinous or anti-social. Since the matter is settled, continuation of prosecution amounts to abuse of the process of the Court. 6.

In view of above, application is allowed. We hereby quash and set aside FIR vide crime No. 576/2023 registered with Police Station Shegaon, Tah. Shegaon, Dist. Buldhana for the offence punishable under Sections 323, 324, 504, 506 read with Section 34 of
