Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the FIR No.899/2014 registered at Police Station South Rohini,, Delhi under Sections 323/354A(1)427/34 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed subject to payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs to be deposited by the petitioners with Delhi High Mediation & Conciliation Centre within two weeks from today. Copy of receipt of deposit of costs be placed on record.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.

A copy of this order be given dasti to counsel for the petitioners. SUNITA GUPTA, J FEBRUARY 26, 2016
