% 14.03.2019 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking quashing of FIR No.493/2018, under Sections 452/324 IPC registered at Police Station Karol Bagh, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement has been arrived at between the parties in the matter. Respondents No.2 is present in Court today and is identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. He states that he has settled the matter with the petitioner with my own free will and choice without any threat, pressure and coercion as per MOU/Compromise Deed dated 22.11.2018. He further states that he does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Statements of the parties have been recorded separately.

In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and of their own free will and without any coercion, pressure, and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. Consequently, FIR No.493/2018, under Sections 452/324 IPC registered at Police Station Karol Bagh, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition is disposed of.
