person. They have been identified by their counsels and concerned Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Jagatpuri, Delhi. 6.

Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that on the complaint of respondent no. 2, the present FIR got registered against the petitioner under the relevant sections. It is stated that after completion of investigation, the chargesheet was filed in the present case. It is further stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter on the basis of compromise/settlement arrived at between the petitioner and respondent no. 2 jointly.

7.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned 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. Respondent no. 2 further states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 8.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, without any coercion and 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. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 177/2019, registered at Police Station Jagatpuri, Delhi for the offences punishable under Sections 323/341/354D/509 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.10,000/- with the Advocates Welfare Fund, Karkardooma Court, Delhi within a period of The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
