% 25.02.2016 This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. moved by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.418/2014 registered at Police Station Harsh Vihar, Delhi under Sections 323/341/354A/451/504/34 IPC and the consequent proceedings arsing therefreom on the ground that the parties have settled all their disputes. It is submitted by counsel for the petitioners that there are cross FIRs lodged by the parties against each other. But now they have compromised their disputes with each other and have agreed to live peacefully in the society. They have also agreed to maintain cordial relations with each other. The parties have also executed a compromise deed on 25.01.2016, which is at pgs. 61 - 65. The case is still at the stage of investigation. The respondent No.

2/complainant is present in person (duly identified by the Investigating Officer and his counsel) and submits that he has amicably resolved all disputes with the petitioners voluntarily without there being any threat, coercion or pressure of any sort and in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, he does not want any action against the petitioners and does not have any objection to quashing of the instant FIR.

Mr Ashok Kumar Garg, Additional Public Prosecutor for the State submits that in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, he has no objection to quashing

of FIR.

Keeping in view the facts that the parties have compromised the matter with each other amicably, no useful purpose would be served by continuing the criminal proceedings against the petitioner, which will only be an exercise in futility and wastage of precious time of the Court.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the FIR No.418/2014 registered at Police Station Harsh Vihar, Delhi under Sections 323/341/354A/451/504/34 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed subject to payment of Rs.30,000/- as costs to be deposited by the petitioners with Juvenile Justice Board within four weeks from today. Receipt of deposit of costs be placed on record. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
