ORDER

The Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking to quash the First Information Report in Crime No.49 of 2015, on the file of the second respondent police.

2. It is seen from records that this Court by an order dated 11.10.2018, has quashed the final report filed insofar as A-1 and A3 are concerned. A bare perusal of the said order would show that https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

the de-facto complainant appeared before the Court and had specifically stated that the matter has been settled amicably between the parties. In fact the de-facto complainant had already settled the dispute with A-2 and the First Information Report was quashed insofar as A-2 also. The present petitioner has been arrayed as A-4. This petitioner was juvenile at the time of the alleged occurrence.

3. This Court is of the considered view that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the First Information Report pending insofar as this petitioner is concerned. In view of the fact that the proceedings against the other accused persons have already been quashed by this Court due to the amicable settlement between the parties, this Court deems it fit to quash the First Information Report insofar as this petitioner also.

4. In the result, the First Information Report in Crime No.49 of 2015, pending of the file of the second respondent police is hereby quashed and the Criminal Original Petition is allowed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (Writs) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar (CS-) To
