% 20.09.2017 This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.380/2016, under Sections 354/354-D/506/509 IPC of Police StationWelcome, Delhi and all proceedings emanating therefrom. Counsel for the petitioner submit that the petitioner and the respondent No.2 are neighbours and due to some misunderstanding arisen between the parties, a quarrel had taken place. He further submits that due to the misunderstanding, the respondent No.2 got registered FIR No.380/2016, under Sections 354/354-D/506/509 IPC of Police Station-Welcome, Delhi. Counsel further submits that after the registration of the FIR, the near relatives and the friends intervened and the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and the petitioner has filed an affidavit dated 19.09.2017 to this extent. He further submits that nothing remains to be adjudicated

further between the parties 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.Aruna is present in Court today and has been identified by the Investigating Officer SI Ombir Singh. 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. She further submits that the settlement/compromise has taken place voluntarily, without any force, pressure or coercion.

She further submits that she has no objection if the FIR in question is quashed. Keeping in view the above facts and circumstances, since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties who are stated to be neighbours and nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them, to promote peace in the neighbourhood and to have peace in the personal life of the parties, I deem it appropriate to quash the FIR and all its subsequent proceedings. Consequently, FIR No.380/2016, under Sections 354/354D/506/509 IPC of Police Station-Welcome, Delhi and all proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.

The present petition is allowed and disposed of accordingly. Copy of this order be given dasti, as prayed. I.S.MEHTA, J SEPTEMBER 20, 2017/sr
