He has further submitted that after registration of the FIR qua against the petitioner, the relatives and the friends

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that all disputes have been amicably settled between the parties and nothing remains to be adjudicated upon further and submits that the FIR in question is coming as hurdle in the way of the present petitioner. He further submits that the petitioner and the respondent No.2 want to lead peaceful life in near future and since all disputes have been settled between them, the FIR in question and all proceedings arising therefrom may be quashed.

The respondent No.2/complainant Ms.Arti Seelal is present in Court today and has been identified by the Investigating Officer HC Dharmender. The respondent No.2/complainant also admits that the matter has been amicably settled with the petitioner and she has no claim or grievance left against the petitioner.

Looking into the above facts and circumstances, since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and nothing remains to be adjudicated further, to have peace in the life of the parties, I deem it appropriate to quash the FIR No.1200/2013, under Sections 354/509 IPC, registered at Police Station-Mehrauli, Delhi, and all proceedings emanating therefrom.
