% 01.04.2016 Crl. MA 3191/2016 (exemption) Exemption allowed subject to all just exceptions. The application stands disposed of.

CRL.M.C. 749/2016 This is a petition u/s 482 Cr.P.C. moved by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.0662/2015 registered at Police Station Palam Village, Delhi under Sections 506/509 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom on the ground that the parties have compromised the matter.

It is submitted by counsel for the petitioner that on 16.02.2016 both the parties have amicably settled the matter and a settlement deed has been arrived between the parties which is annexed with the petition at pgs. 25 - 27.

The respondent No.2/complainant, who is present in person (duly identified by the Investigating Officer of the case) submits that she has amicably resolved all disputes with the petitioners voluntarily without there being any threat, coercion or pressure of any sort and in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, she does not want any action against the petitioner and does not have any objection to quashing of the instant FIR. Mr Ashok Kumar Garg, Additional Public Prosecutor for the State submits that in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, he has no objection to quashing of FIR. Keeping in view the facts that the parties have compromised the matter with each other amicably, this matter deserves to be given a quietus as continuance of proceedings arising out of the FIR in question would be an exercise in futility and wastage of precious time of the Court.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and the FIR No.0662/2015 registered at Police Station Palam Village, Delhi under Sections 506/509 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed subject to payment of Rs.20,000/- as costs which be deposited by the petitioners with Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within two weeks from today. Copy of receipt of deposit of cost be placed on record. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.

A copy of this order be given dasti to counsel for the petitioner. SUNITA GUPTA, J APRIL 01, 2016/rd
