The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.1203/2014 dated 7.11.2014, under Sections 452/323/354-B/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.: Khajuri Khas, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom. 2.

The petitioners and respondent No.2 as well as learned counsel for the parties submitted that the parties have amicably settled their disputes inter se themselves on their own free will, without any force or coercion.

3.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that since the matter stands settled, she has no objection to the petition being allowed and the FIR being

quashed.

4.

The Investigating Officer ('IO'), who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent No.2 and has also verified the settlement.

5.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to contribute a sum of Rs.50,000/- for some social beneficial cause in any trust or association. 6.

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 aforesaid facts and the remorseful attitude of the petitioners, this Court is 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.1203/2014 dated 7.11.2014, under Sections 452/323/354-B/506/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.

Copy of the receipts shall also be handed over to the APP through the I.O. within one week thereafter. In case the petitioners fail to deposit the said sum, the prosecution shall be entitled to move an application for passing appropriate orders.

7.

Petition is disposed of in above terms. Pending application is also disposed of.
