% 06.03.2018 1.

The petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 98 of 2013 under Sections 354(A)1/506 of the IPC Police Station Patel Nagar, New Delhi, based on a settlement.

2.

The parties are neighbours.

It is contended that with the intervention of senior members of the locality and respectable persons of the neighbourhood, the parties have settled their disputes. 3.

Respondent no. 2 is present in person in Court today and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She submits that she has settled the disputes with the intervention of locals and respectable people of the locality. Respondent No. 2 submits that she does not wish to press the criminal complaint against the petitioner any further. CRL.M.C. 1152/2018

4.

In view of the fact that the disputes between the parties have been settled, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would also be expedient to quash the subject FIRs and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom.

5.

In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No. 98 of 2013 under Sections 354(A)1/506 of the IPC Police Station Patel Nagar, New Delhi and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are, accordingly quashed.
