% 19.12.2024 1.

This is a petition seeking quashing of FIR No. 86/2019, under Sections 323/341/354-A/506/34 IPC, registered at Police Station - Dariya Ganj and consequential proceedings, if any, emanating therefrom. 2.

As per the FIR, there are allegations of outraging the modesty of the respondent No.2.

3.

Petitioners are present in Court and have been identified by their counsel, Ms Seema Gupta.

4.

Respondent No. 2 is also present in Court through VC and has been identified by her counsel Mr Manish Awasthi as well as by the Investigating Officer SI Rita, PS-Dariya Ganj.

5.

It is submitted that the parties have settled their disputes. It is stated that the petitioner No.3 and the complainant have already been divorced by a decree of divorce.

6.

Both the parties state that they have entered into the aforesaid settlement out of their own free will, volition and without any threat, force, undue influence or coercion. It is stated by respondent No.2 that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. There is no child born out of the wedlock. 7.

It seems that the allegations in the FIR are predicated on a matrimonial issue which the respondent No.2/complainant had with her husband.

8.

Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure ends of justice. The Court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings are permitted to be prosecuted any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings. 9.

In this view of the matter, FIR No. 86/2019, under Sections 323/341/354-A/506/34 IPC, registered at Police Station - Dariya Ganj and consequential proceedings, if any, emanating therefrom, if any, are hereby quashed.

10.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
