Petitioners Nos.1 and 2 are present in court. Petitioners Nos.3 and 4, being female members of the family, are stated to be residing outside Delhi, and have therefore joined the proceedings via videoconferencing.

The court has interacted with respondent No.2. She confirms that she has settled the matter with the petitioners; and does not wish to pursue the subject FIR any further.
6.
As narrated in para 2.9 of the petition, the petitioners have already remitted to respondent No.2 the sum of Rs.30,000/- out of the total settlement amount of Rs.40,000/-; and the balance Rs.10,000/- has been remitted to respondent No.2's brother, who has received the same on respondent No.2's behalf.

Ms. Kiran Bairwa, learned APP confirms that the State has no objection to the subject FIR being quashed.
8.
In the circumstances, in line with the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2012) 10 SCC 303 as also in Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2014) 6 SCC 466, this court sees no reason why the subject FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom should not be quashed. This court is of the view that in light of the settlement between the contesting parties, continuing with the subject FIR and all subsequent proceedings would be an exercise in futility and would not be conducive to peace and harmony between the parties. 9.
Accordingly, case FIR No.328/2016 dated 11.08.2016 registered under sections 354/354B/509/506/341/34 of the IPC at P.S.: Jafrabad, NorthEast Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed.
