In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the age and socioeconomic background of the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to give the petitioners a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as productive members. The petitioners are warned to be careful in future and to not indulge in such activities again. Taking into consideration the remorseful attitude of the petitioners, 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.445/2017, under Sections 323/341/354/506/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Samaipur Badli, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed subject to cost of Rs.
