% 14.11.2019 1.

The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.190/2014, under Sections 323/341/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.: Maurice Nagar, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

The petitioners and respondent No.2 as well as their respective counsel submitted that the parties have settled their disputes on their own free will, without any force or coercion, as is evident from the joint statement recorded before the

learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi on 6.1.2018.

3.

Petitioners have also tendered unconditional apology to the respondent No.2 in the Court today.

4.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that since the petitioners have tendered unconditional apology to him and has assured that they shall not indulge in such activities in future, he has now forgiven them and has no objection to the petition being allowed and the FIR being quashed.

5.

The Investigating Officer ('IO'), who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent No.2 and has also verified the settlement.

6.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the profession, age and socio-economic background of the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to give them a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as productive members. Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts and the remorseful attitude of the petitioners, this Court is of the view that no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the parties entangled in the criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No.190/2014, under Sections 323/341/506/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Maurice Nagar, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

7.

Petition is disposed of in above terms. Pending application is also disposed of.
