% 31.01.2019 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 Mr. Ashok is present in Court along with his counsel and accepts notice. He has been identified by ASI Virender Kumar of police station Uttam Nagar.

It is submitted that petitioners and respondent are neighbours. It is further submitted that a quarrel took place between them on some trivial issue, which led to registration of FIR No. 1393/2015 under Sections 308/34 IPC at Police Station Uttam Nagar. Respondent no.2 submits that he has settled the matter with petitioners of his own free will and without any

undue force, pressure or coercion, vide a Compromise Deed dated 30th May, 2018. Respondent no. 2 says that he wants to maintain harmonious relations with petitioners in future. He further says that he has no objection in case aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Affidavit of respondent no. 2 to this effect is also on record at page 27.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
