% 03.11.2016 On the complaint of respondent no. 2, FIR No. 500/2014 under Sections 406/419/420/120-B/34 IPC was registered at Police Station Najafgarh against the petitioners.

Disputes arose between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 in respect of sale of the property bearing plot nos. 13 & 14, Village Masoodabad, Laxmi Vihar Colony, Main Najafgarh, New Delhi. Petitioners and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes before Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre vide Settlement Agreement dated 25th September, 2014.

Pursuant to the settlement, M/s. Dhawan

Creative Prints Private Limited of which respondent no. 2 is the Managing Director, has withdrawn CS(OS) No. 1671/2014 titled M/s. Dhawan Creative Prints Pvt. Ltd. vs. Ashok Kumar Batra & Ors. in respect of the same property transaction.

Complaint case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, filed by the respondent no. 2, has been withdrawn. There were certain other litigations between the petitioners and respondent no. 2, which have also been withdrawn, in terms of the settlement.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the parties, which has been acted upon, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No. 500/2014 under Sections 406/419/420/120-B/34 IPC registered at Police Station Najafgarh and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
