Mehra, J. <\/p>\n<p> (1) I have perused the petition for quashing and also have kept in view the explanation given by the accused who has since been re-employed by the complainant after the alleged removal of misunderstanding and compromise between the complainant and the accused. The recovery of money was affected by police following the complaint by petitioner No. 1. However, in view of the mutual settlement and keeping in view the fact that almost the entire amount has since been recovered and can be restored to petitioner No. 1, I do not see if any useful purpose will be served in continuing with the prosecution. Accordingly, I allow the petition and grant permission for compounding the offence and pursuant thereto hereby quash the Fir No. 9\/96 registered on 17.1.96 with P.S. Chandni Chowk, Delhi against petitioners 2 and 3 under Section 408, Indian Penal Code and all proceedings amenating therefrom. The amount recovered be restored to petitioner No. 1.
