On the query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated by respondent no.2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties vide Compromise Deed dated 17.02.2022 entered into between them.
5.
Today, the complainant who is present in Court states that she has amicably settled the matter with the petitioners with the intervention of respectable persons of the village and family members and has no objection if the FIR is quashed.
6.
In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, and without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 7.
Accordingly, FIR bearing No.251/2022 registered at Police Station Patparganj Industrial Area, Delhi for offences punishable under Sections 147/148/149/308/323/341/34 of the IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed subject to each petitioner depositing the cost of Rs.7,000/- for re-furnishing of Ladies Bar Room at Karkardooma Courts, Delhi within 10 days and receipt thereof be filed before the Registry of this Court within a week thereafter.
