3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that disputes have been amicably settled between the parties in terms of Settlement Deed dated 26.04.2024, whereby an amount of Rs. 11,70,000/- has been returned by petitioner to complainant at the time of seeking conditional bail. He further submits that petitioner has clean past antecedents and belongs to a humble background. Further, quashing of FIR shall enable him to re-settle in life. 4. Respondent no. 2 who is present in person submits that since petitioner had been engaged for taking care of her father, she is willing to forgive him and has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. 5. Learned APP for the State submits that in view of amicable settlement between the parties, since the amount has been returned by the petitioner to respondent No.2, she has no objection in case the FIR in question is quashed. 6. Petitioner in the present case seeks to invoke the powers under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The same is to be used to secure the ends of justice or to prevent the abuse of process of Court. In which cases, the power to quash the criminal proceedings or the complaint or FIR may be used when the offender as well as victim have settled their dispute, would depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case and no generalized list or categories can be prescribed. However, the Court is required to give due regard to the nature and gravity of the offence and consider the impact on the society.
