% 11.01.2018 By the present petition the petitioner seek quashing of FIR No. 4/2016 under Sections 279/338 IPC and Sections 146/196 of the Motor Vehicles Act registered at PS Uttam Nagar, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter.

Learned proxy counsel for the learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer submits that in the above-noted FIR the petitioner is the only accused and respondent No.2 the only complainant/ victim.

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and is identified by the Investigating Officer. He states that he has settled the matter with the petitioners before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts on 27th October, 2016. In lieu of his claim for medical expenses, compensation, mental agony and pain, the respondent No.2 has already received a sum of ₹90,000/- and he does not wish to pursue the above-noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

The petitioner who is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel affirms the statement of respondent No.2. He assures that he will be careful in future and to show remorse undertakes to deposit the cost. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

Consequently, FIR No. 4/2016 under Sections 279/338 IPC and Sections 146/196 of the Motor Vehicles Act registered at PS Uttam Nagar, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed subject to the petitioner depositing a sum of ₹10,000/- with the Juvenile Justice Fund maintained by the Registrar General of this Court within four weeks. Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.

Petition and application are disposed of. Order dasti. MUKTA GUPTA, J.
