3.

Petitioners and complainants in both these petitions are present in Court and are duly identified by IO and the respective counsels. 4.

As per the settlement, Rs. 30,000/- is given by Mukesh to Gulam Aadil in the Court today and the parties submit that they have no objection to quashing of the FIR in view of the settlement. 5.

Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, both these cross FIRs being FIR No. 286/2017 and FIR No. 285/2017 PS Shahadara under Sections 323/308/427/34 IPC Delhi and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

6.

Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 7.

Accordingly, both these petitions are disposed of. Pending applications (if any) are disposed of as infructuous.
