investigation officer during investigation recovered the vehicle, which was found to be in possession of the petitioner and a chargesheet was filed against the petitioner under section 379/411 IPC. Now, the matter is pending before the learned Trial Court.

The present petition has been filed on the ground that the parties have amicably settled all their disputes by way of Memorandum of Understanding dated 04.08.2023. In terms of the compromise, parties have agreed that they will approach and appear before this Court seeking quashing of E-FIR No. 12568/2017.

6.

The parties are present in person and have been duly identified by the Investigating Officer. They state that they have settled their disputes amicably, without any coercion or pressure. 7.

They also state that they do not have any objection if the proceedings are quashed. SI Neeraj Kumar, PS South Rohini, Investigating Officer in the present case also states that he has no objection if the proceedings are quashed.

8.

Offences under Section and IPC are compoundable in nature and the factum of settlement has also been confirmed by the Investigating Officer and the petition is duly supported by the sworn affidavit of the complainant. No useful purpose would be served by relegating the parties to the Trial Court for filing an application to compound the offence. 9.

In view of the above, the present petition is allowed and EFIR No. 12568/2017 and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.
