% 09.02.2018 Crl.M.A.2550/2018 (Exemption) Exemption is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.C. 711/2018 1.

The petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 333 of 2013 under Sections 354/509 of the IPC Police Station Frash Bazar, Delhi on the basis of a settlement.

2.

The petitioner was the tenant of respondent no. 2 and the subject FIR is an offshoot of a dispute between the landlord and the tenant. It is contended that the parties have settled their disputes through mediation at Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi. The settlement agreement dated 29.01.2018 has been executed between the parties. 3.

Respondent No. 2 is present in person in Court today and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She submits that she has settled the CRL.M.C. 711/2018

dispute with the petitioner. She further submits that she does not wish to press the criminal complaints against petitioner any further. 4.

In view of the fact that the disputes between the parties has been settled, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would also be expedient to quash the subject FIRs and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom.

5.

In view of the above, the petitions are allowed. FIR No. 333 of 2013 under Sections 354/509 of the IPC Police Station Frash Bazar, Delhi and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are, accordingly quashed.
