counsel for the respondent no.2 along with respondent no.2 in person.

5.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the disputes arose out of some petty issues between the parties that is the petitioner and the respondent no.2 which resulted in the registration of the above-mentioned FIR.

6.

The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the parties have amicably settled their inter se disputes and pursuant to the settlement, the respondent no.2 has filed an affidavit along with the present petition giving her no objection for quashing of the abovementioned FIR.

7.

The respondent no.2, who is present in Court and has been duly identified by the Investigating Officer (IO), affirms the settlement and states that she has settled all the disputes with the petitioners of her own free will and without any coercion. The respondent no.2 submits that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.

8.

I have perused the contents of the FIR and also the affidavit filed by the Respondent no.2.

9.

Keeping in view the fact that parties have settled their disputes and the respondent no.2 does not wish to pursue her complaint any further, as also the Settlement arrived at between the parties, I find that no useful purpose shall be served in continuing with the proceedings of the present FIR as the chances of its success will be rather minuscule and it would rather create further acrimony between the parties and will be an unnecessary burden The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
