respondent no.4 suffered an injury.

4.

During the pendency of the proceedings, the parties arrived at settlement before the Delhi Government Mediation Centre, terms whereof have been recorded in the mediation settlement dated 22.11.2017. In terms of the settlement, it was agreed that the petitioner shall pay a full and final settlement amount of Rs. 7,50,000/- to the LRs of deceased Himanshu Goswami and an amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- shall be paid to the respondent no.4/ injured.

5.

Mr. Pawan Kumar, invites attention of the Court, to the aforesaid mediation settlement to contend that entire settlement amount in terms of the mediation settlement has already been paid to the LRs of the deceased as well as to the respondent no.4. He further contends that the father of the deceased has also passed away.

6.

However, the respondent no.2, the brother of the deceased is present in Court. He acknowledges that the settlement amount was received by his father. Likewise, the respondent no.4 also acknowledges having received the settlement amount of Rs. 1,00,000/-.

7.

On a query posed by the Court, the respondent no.2 and 4 states that they do not wish to prosecute the present proceeding. 8.

In view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a settlement, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.

9.

It is, thus, in the interest of justice that the present FIR and all the other proceedings emanating therefrom be quashed. 10.

Consequently, the petition is allowed and the FIR No. 220/2017 under Section 285/336/337/304A/34 IPC registered at Police Station Preet Vihar The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
