The petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 655 of 2014 under Sections 324/341/34 of the IPC Police Station Preet Vihar, New Delhi, based on a settlement.

2.

The parties are neighbours. It is contended that with the intervention of senior members of the locality and respectable persons of the neighbourhood, the parties have settled their disputes and compromise deed dated 25.01.2018 has been entered into. 3.

As per the settlement, respondent no. 2 was to be paid a sum of Rs. 60,000/-. The said amount has already been paid which is acknowledged by respondent no. 2.

Respondent no. 2 is present in person in Court today and is identified by the Investigating Officer. He submits that he has settled CRL.M.C. 633/2018

the disputes with the intervention of locals and respectable people of the locality. Respondent No. 2 submits that he does not wish to press the criminal complaint against the petitioners any further. 5.

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.
