% 29.03.2017 This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.164/2010, under Sections 323/451/506/34 IPC, registered at Police Station-Bharat Nagar, Delhi and all proceedings emanating therefrom. Counsel for the petitioners submits that presently the petitioners and the respondent No.2, Smt.Richa Sehgal are neighbours and due to some misunderstanding arisen between the parties, a quarrel had taken place resulting into registration of FIR No.164/2010, under Sections 323/451/506/34 IPC at Police Station-Bharat Nagar, 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 in Mediation Centre, Rohini District Courts, Delhi vide compromise

deed dated 26.11.2016 and nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them and to have better relationship in near future, the present FIR, which is coming as a hurdle in their way, may be quashed. The respondent No.2/complainant, Smt.Richa Sehgal is present in Court today and has been identified by the Investigating Officer SI Sukhjeet, Police Station-Bharat Nagar, Delhi. The respondent No.2 admits that she has settled the matter amicably with the petitioners vide compromise deed dated 26.11.2016. She further submits that the settlement/compromise has taken place voluntarily, without any force, pressure or coercion. She submits that nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them and 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 for maintaining good relationship between the parties, I deem it appropriate to quash the FIR and all its subsequent proceedings. Consequently, FIR No.164/2010, under Sections 323/451/506/34 IPC, registered at Police Station-Bharat Nagar, Delhi and all proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
