Crl. Misc. No. M-21426 of 2009 (O&M) has no grudge against the accused. She does not want to proceed further against the accused and has no objection, if the present F.I.R be quashed against the petitioner. She stated that she received Rs.7.5 lacs in cash from the petitioner as full and final settlement. Nothing is due towards petitioner now. The compromise is without any fear and pressure. Consequently, in view of the statement of the complainant and in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Dr. Arvind Barsaul etc. versus State of Madhya Pradesh and another 2008(2) RCR (Criminal) 910, no useful purpose would be served in prolonging the litigation.

Accordingly, FIR No. 131 dated 13.06.2009 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Malerkotla, Distt Sangrur, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioner.

The petition stands disposed of.
