    Summary of CRM-M/15891/2024 The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed Harpinder Singh's petition and quashed FIR No.1071 registered under Section 174-A IPC. The FIR was registered after Singh was declared a proclaimed person in a Negotiable Instruments Act Section 138 cheque-dishonour case involving Rs.2,90,000. However, the parties later settled the dispute and the underlying complaint was withdrawn on 23.12.2022. The court held that continuing proceedings under Section 174-A IPC after withdrawal of the main case constitutes abuse of process, relying on established precedent that Section 174-A proceedings become infructuous once the substantive case ends in settlement. Singh was ordered to deposit Rs.20,000 as costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
