% 20.02.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.723/15 under Sections 451/506/509/323/341/34 IPC registered at Police Station Vivek Vihar. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/respondent No.2 amicably.
(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court along W.P.(CRL) 373/2016
with her counsel and is identified by him. I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.
(3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Memorandum of Understanding/Settlement deed dated 25.01.2016 signed by the parties is on record.
(4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioners, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to enable the parties, who are neighbours, to maintain neighbourly relations, FIR No.723/15 under Sections 451/506/509/323/341/34 IPC registered at Police Station Vivek Vihar and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
(5) The petitioners are, however, burdened with costs of `15,000/- to be deposited with Prime Minister Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
