This is a petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.270/2017, under Sections 325/342/34 IPC, registered at Police Station-Jafrabad, North-East District Delhi, and all proceedings emanating therefrom.

3.

The brief facts of the case are that on the complaint of respondent No. 2 above said FIR was registered against the petitioners.

4.

Counsel for the petitioners submits that during the pendency of the trial, the parties have settled the matter amicably in terms of the

compromise deed dated 05.08.2019.

Copy of the said compromise deed is also placed on record.

5.
