petitioners herein, has also been quashed.

6.

Petitioner is present in Court and has been identified by his counsel, Mr. Harendra Kumar.

7.

Respondent No. 2 is present and has been identified by Investigating Officer SI Rocky, Police Station Swaroop Nagar. 8.

Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure ends of justice. The Court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings are permitted to be prosecuted any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings. 9.

In this view of the matter, F.I.R No. 44/2018 dated 01.02.2018 under Section 279/429 IPC registered at Police Station Swaroop Nagar is hereby quashed.

10.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
