CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 20.03.2017 It is submitted that petitioners and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably, vide a Compromise Deed dated 2nd February, 2017; therefore, FIR No. 47/2017 under Sections 352/354/506/509/34 IPC registered at Police Station Jamia Nagar, on the complaint of respondent no. 2 may be quashed.

Learned Additional Standing Counsel submits that respondent no. 2 has alleged in the FIR that petitioners had also misbehaved with her employer, namely, Ms. Shaista Khanam. Respondent no. 2 as well as Ms. Shaista Khanam are present in Court and have been identified by SI Varun, P.S. Jamia Nagar. Respondent no. 2 submits that she has settled the

matter of own free will and without any undue force, coercion and pressure. Ms. Shaista Khanam submits that she is also not willing to pursue the matter any further, in view of the compromise arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending.

Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No. 47/2017 under Sections 352/354/506/509/34 IPC registered at Police Station Jamia Nagar and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
