CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 10.02.2017 It is submitted that the petitioner and respondent no.2 are neighbours and on account of a trivial issue, a quarrel took place between them as a consequence whereof, FIR No.315/2015 was registered on the complaint of respondent no.2 but with the intervention of common friends and relatives, petitioners and respondent no.2 have settled their dispute vide a Settlement Deed dated 7th January, 2017. It is, therefore, prayed that FIR No.315/2015 u/s 354B/354D/509 IPC and Section 12 POSCO Act, registered at PS Harsh Vihar may be quashed.

It has also been pointed out that on the complaint of petitioner, FIR No.140/2015 u/s 323/308/34 IPC has also been registered at PS Harsh Vihar. Respondent no.2 is present in the court today and has been identified by the IO W/ASI Sunita. She admits having settled the matter with the petitioner out of her own free will and without any undue pressure, force and

coercion. She submits that she has no objection in case the aforementioned FIR No.315/2015 u/s 354B/354D/509 IPC and Section 12 POSCO Act, registered at PS Harsh Vihar is quashed.

In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served by continuing with the present criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice FIR No.315/2015 u/s 354B/354D/509 IPC and Section 12 POSCO Act, registered at PS Harsh Vihar and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
