CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 16.01.2019 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 Ms. Jasmine Chhikara is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Parveen of police station EOW.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no. 2 says that she has no objection in case FIR No. 131/2009 under Sections 323/506/354 IPC and Section 66 of the

Information Technology Act registered at Police Station Economic Offences Wing and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 to this effect is also on record at pages 35-36. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner 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 application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
