% 09.05.2025 [Physical Hearing/Hybrid Hearing (as per request)] CRL.M.C. 227/2025 & CRL.M.A. 1206/2025 (stay) 1.

Petitioners (two in number) have filed this petition, seeking quashing of FIR No. 233/2016 of PS Sunlight Colony for offences under Section 323/354/354A/506/509/34 IPC on the ground that they have compromised the disputes with the complainant de facto (respondent no.2 herein). 2.

Both petitioners and respondent no.2 are present in court identified by their respective counsel and the Investigating Officer/SI Kuldeep Singh. 3.

I have spoken with respondent no.2 in Hindi and it is submitted by her that all her disputes with petitioners stand settled and she does not wish to continue with their prosecution.

against three persons, only two have filed the present petition. But respondent no.2 submits that she does not wish to proceed against the third accused also, so the entire FIR and proceedings may be quashed. 4.

I am conscious of the nature of the offence involved in the present case, especially the offences under Section 354/354A IPC. A bare reading of the FIR convinces me that respondent no.2 in the FIR did not make any exaggerated allegations and the allegations of the general nature mentioned in the FIR would fail to make out a prima facie case for these offences. 5.

Further, it is also disclosed by learned counsel for petitioners and learned counsel for respondent no.2 that the dispute between the parties was mainly a civil dispute, regarding which a suit was filed but now even that suit is being settled/withdrawn.

6.

Under these circumstances, I am satisfied that pushing the parties through full dress trial would not be in the interest of justice. Therefore, the petition is allowed and the FIR No. 233/2016 of PS Sunlight Colony for offences under Section 323/354/354A/506/509/34 IPC and the proceedings arising out of the same against both petitioners as well as the third accused who was not made a party here are quashed.
