% 29.05.2019 CRL.M.A.11855/2019 Allowed, subject to all just exceptions. The application is disposed of.

CRL.M.C. 2947/2019 1.

The petitioner has filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.296/2016, under Section 279 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.: Chittaranjan Park, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

The petitioner and his counsel as well as respondent No.2 submitted that the parties have settled their disputes on their own free will, without any force or coercion. An affidavit in this regard has been filed on behalf of respondent No.2, wherein he has stated that he has received Rs.1,50,000/- from the petitioner as damages towards full and final settlement of

his claim.

3.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that since the matter has been settled, he 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 petitioner as well as respondent No.2 and has also verified the settlement arrived at between the parties. 5.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances and the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the age and socio-economic background of the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to give him a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as a productive member. The petitioner is warned to be careful in future and not indulge in such activities again. Taking into consideration the remorseful attitude of the petitioner, 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.296/2016, under Section 279 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Chittaranjan Park, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

6.

Petition is disposed of in above terms.
