% 08.11.2019 1.

The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.240/2018, under Sections 325/341/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.:Subzi Mandi, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom. 2.

The petitioners and their counsel as well as respondent No.2 submitted that the parties have settled their disputes on their own free will, without any force or coercion. In this regard, respondent No.2 has filed his affidavit. 3.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that since the petitioners have tendered unconditional apology to him and have assured that they shall not indulge in such activities again in future, he has now forgiven them and he has no objection to the petition being

allowed and the FIR being quashed.

4.

The Investigating Officer ('IO'), who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent No.2 and has also verified the settlement. The IO also submitted that no other criminal case is pending against the petitioners. 5.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the age and socio-economic background of the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to give them a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as productive members. The petitioners are warned to be careful in future and to not indulge in such activities again in future. Taking into consideration the remorseful attitude of the petitioners, this Court is also of the view that no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the parties entangled in the criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No.240/2018, under Sections 325/341/506/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.:Subzi Mandi, Delhi and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

6.

Petition is disposed of in above terms. Pending application is also disposed of.
