% 09.03.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.29/13 under Sections 420/468/471 IPC registered at Police Station Sarai Rohilla. 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 with his counsel. The Investigating Officer present in the court has CRL.M.C. 798/2016
identified him. I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. He has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and he 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 12.03.2014 signed by the parties is on record. Order dated 18.03.2014 records settlement between the parties before Mediation Centre. Status report confirms it.
(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 put an end to the litigation, FIR No.29/13 under Sections 420/468/471 IPC registered at Police Station Sarai Rohilla 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 National Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition is disposed of accordingly.
