At the request of learned counsel for the parties both these petitions are taken up for hearing together and are disposed by this common order.
2. At the outset, it is jointly submitted that the dispute between the parties is amicably settled and consent terms dated 29.11.2011 is filed by the parties in each of the petitions. It is also not in dispute that this Court [Coram : Hon'ble Mr. Justice J.C.Upadhyaya] exercising powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 quashed and set aside the impugned complaint qua applicants of Criminal Misc. Application Nos.16734 to 16737 of 2011.
3. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, more particularly when the parties have settled their dispute amicably and filed consent terms dated 29.11.2011, in my view, no useful purpose would be served in continuing with the criminal proceedings.
Hence, a case is made out to exercise powers under Section 482 of the Code and, accordingly, the impugned complaint qua the petitioners is hereby quashed and set aside.
The petitions are allowed to the aforesaid extent.
