JUDGMENT

BRIJESH SETHI, J (oral) In the above captioned first petition, quashing of FIR No.74/2019, under Sections 454/380/354/34 IPC and in the above captioned second

petition, quashing of FIR No.68/2019, under Sections 354/506/509/34 IPC, both registered at police station Paschim Vihar, New Delhi, is sought. The complainant of FIR No. 74/2019 is the mother-in-law and complainant of FIR No. 68/2019 is the daughter-in-law. Quashing of these FIRs is sought on the ground that the dispute between the parties has been amicably resolved with the intervention of family, friends and respectable members.

Since the subject matter of these two petitions is essentially a family dispute, with the consent of counsel representing both the sides, these petitions have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment.

Notice.

Mr. Rajesh Mahajan, learned Additional Standing Counsel for respondent/State accepts notice and submits that petitioners as well as complainants of FIR in question are present in the Court and they have been duly identified by Investigating Officer of these cases. Complainants of these FIRs submit that the dispute inter se has been amicably resolved and now, no grievance against each other survives and, therefore, the proceedings arising out of FIR in question be brought to an end.

Heard.

Since the subject matter of these FIRs stands mutually and amicably resolved between the parties, no useful purpose would be served in continuation of the proceedings arising therefrom.

In view of the above, FIR No.74/2019, under Sections 454/380/354/34 IPC and FIR No.68/2019, under Sections 354/506/509/34 IPC, both registered at police station Paschim Vihar, New Delhi and proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. The petitions stand disposed of.
