ORDER

o/o 04.02.2019 It is submitted that petitioners Smt. Sonia Manchanda, Mr. Prince and Certify that the digital and physical file have been compared and the digital data is as per the physical file and no page is missing.

Mr. Yogesh Sachdeva are relatives of respondent nos. 2(a) to 2(e), namely, Smt. Asha Soni, Smt. Manju Arora, Mr. Ashok Manchanda, Mr. Rajkumar Manchanda and Smt. Megha Sehgal. It is further submitted that respondent nos. 2(a) to 2(e) are the legal heirs of Late Smt. Kaushalya. FIR no. 1792/2014 under Sections 308/323/427/34 IPG was registered at police station Mangol Puri on the complaint of Late Smt. Kaushaly^against the petitioners.

On the complaint of Smt. Sonia Manchanda (respondent no. 2 in Crl. M.C. no. 612/2018), a cross FIR No. 1793/2014 under Sections 323/354/452/427/506/509/34 IPG was registered at police station Mangol Puri against Smt. Manju Arora and Shri Naveen Arora. It is further submitted that above named persons have now settled their disputes amicably in order to maintain harmonious relations in future. Legal heirs of Late Smt. Kaushalya, namely, Smt. Asha Soni, Smt. Manju Arora, Mr. Ashok Manchanda, Mr. Rajkumar Manchanda, Smt. Megha Sehgal and Smt. Sonia Manchanda are present in Gourt and have been identified by SI Amit Kara of police station Mangol Puri. They submit that they have settled the matter with petitioners of their own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. They say that they have no

objection in case aforesaid cross FIRs and consequent proceedings i emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioners. Affidavits of the above named persons to this effect are also on record. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and private respondents voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the 0^ interest of justice, aforesaid cross FIRs and consequent proceedings '"0 emanating therefrom are quashed.

Both the petitions are disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
