% 05.05.2016 CRL.M.C. 908/2016 This is a petition u/s 482 Cr.P.C. moved by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.215/2015 registered at Police Station Punjabi Bagh, Delhi under Sections 354A/509/506/34 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom on the ground that the parties have compromised the matter. It is submitted by counsel for the petitioners that due to the intervention of family members, friends, well wishers and other respectable members of the society, the respondent no.2 has shown her desire before learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi to settle her dispute with the petitioners. It is, therefore, prayed that the present FIR be quashed. 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 . Petitioners have tendered apology, therefore, she does not want any action against the petitioners and does not have any objection to quashing of the instant FIR.

Mr. Akshai Malik, APP 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.215/2015 registered at Police Station Punjabi Bagh, Delhi under Sections 354A/509/506/34 IPC and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed subject to payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs which be deposited by the petitioners with Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within four weeks from today. Copy of receipt of deposit of costs be placed on record. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.

A copy of this order be given dasti to counsel for the petitioners. SUNITA GUPTA, J MAY 05, 2016 mr
