O R D E R

% 18.03.2016 This is a petition u/s 482 Cr.P.C. moved by the petitioner for quashing of FIR No.130/2014 registered at Police Station Welcome, Delhi under Sections 354(D)/451/506 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 10.12.2015 with the gracious help of friends and relatives the parties have entered into an MoU which is annexed to the petition at pgs. 27 - 31.

The respondent No.2/complainant, who is present in person (duly identified by the Investigating Officer of the case) submits that she has since been married, she has amicably resolved all disputes with the petitioner 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.

Ms Neelam Sharma, Additional Public Prosecutor for the State submits that in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, she 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.130/2014 registered at Police Station Welcome, Delhi under Sections 354(D)/451/506 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed subject to payment of Rs.20,000/- as costs by way of demand draft which be paid by the petitioner to the complainant/ respondent no.2 within six weeks from today. Copy of demand draft 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 MARCH 18, 2016/rd
