% 26.02.2019 CRL.M.A. 4235/2019 Allowed, subject to all just exceptions. The application is disposed of.

CRL.M.C. 1062/2019 1.

The petitioner has filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.484/2018, under Sections 323/341/354-A/506/509 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.: Bawana, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

The petitioner 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 vide Settlement/Compromise Deed dated 16.2.2019. The petitioner, who is present in Court, has tendered unconditional apology submitted that he shall not repeat such mistake again in his life and prays that he may be pardoned for the same. The petitioner also submitted that he has already tendered apology to respondent No.2.

3.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that since the petitioner has tendered unconditional apology, she has forgiven him and she has no objection to the petition being allowed and the FIR being quashed.

4.

The Investigating Officer ('IO'), who is present in Court, has identified the petitioner as well as respondent No.2 and has also verified the Settlement/Compromise Deed. The IO has submitted that no other case is pending against the petitioner. 5.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the young age and socio-economic background of the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to give a chance to the petitioner to reform and reintegrate into the society as a productive member. This Court is also 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. 484/2018, under Sections 323/341/354-A/506/509 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Bawana, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

6.

Petition is disposed of in above terms.

Dasti.
