CRL.M.C. 10045/2024 1.

This is a petition seeking quashing of FIR No. 273/2018 dated 27.10.2018 under Sections 420/406/506 of IPC registered at PS Crime Branch.

2.

As per the FIR, the petitioner entered into an Agreement to Sell with the respondent No. 2 for two flats (3rd and 4th Floor) built on bearing No. J3/83, Area 425 Sq. yds., J. Extension, Laxmi Nagar under which the respondent No. 2 made a payment of Rs. 6 lakhs. 3.

respondent No. 2, the FIR was registered.

4.

During the pendency of the proceedings, parties have arrived at a settlement, wherein the entire amount has been returned to the respondent No. 2.

5.

The petitioner is present in the Court and is identified by Mr. BP Sharma, Adv. Respondent No. 2 is also present in Court and is identified by IO Manoj Kumar, PS Crime Branch.

6.

Respondent No. 2 states that he has no objection to the petition being allowed and the FIR is quashed.

7.

Parties state that they have arrived at the settlement out of their own free will without any threat, pressure, coercion or undue influence. 8.

I am of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting the FIR any further on the ground that the parties have arrived at a voluntary settlement and settled their disputes. 9.

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 as permitted to continue any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings. 10.

In view of the aforesaid, FIR No. 273/2018 dated 27.10.2018 under Sections 420/406/506 of IPC registered at PS Crime Branch and consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 11.

The petition is disposed of.
