1. This is a petition seeking quashing of FIR No. 87/2021, under Sections 323/442/506/34 of IPC, registered at PS Uttam Nagar, Delhi and all consequent proceedings arising therefrom.

2. The parties have arrived at a settlement dated 19.03.2021 before the Mediation Center, Dwarka Court, wherein the petitioner was to pay a sum of Rs.15,000/- to the respondent No. 2. The said amount has been paid. Statements have already been recorded before the Joint Registrar.

3. Even though there is no statement recorded with the order of 22.01.2025, the respondent no. 2 is present in Court and states that the statement was recorded.

4. Mr. Jha, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No. 2 states that the statement was recorded before the Joint Registrar.

5. The same is verified by the respondent no. 2 and she states that the settlement amount has already been received.

6. Parties state that they have arrived at the settlement out of their own free will without any threat, pressure, coercion or undue influence.

7. I am of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting the FIR any further on the ground that the parties have arrived at a voluntary settlement and settled their disputes.

8. I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure ends of justice. The Court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings as permitted to continue any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings.

9. For the said reasons, the petition is allowed and the aforementioned FIR is quashed.

10.Let the statement be placed on record.

11.The petition is disposed of.
