% 23.11.2016 By the present petition the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 279/2013 under Sections 354/323 IPC registered at PS Karawal Nagar, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter. Learned APP for the State on instructions submits that in the above noted FIR the petitioner is the only accused and the respondent No. 2 the complainant/victim and the respondent No.3 the other victim. He states that CRL.M.C. 1970/2016

no other person is involved in the above noted FIR. The Respondent Nos. 2 and 3, who are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer state that they have settled the matter with the petitioner in terms of the compromise deed dated 15th January, 2016 and they do not want to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

Petitioner who is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel affirms the statement of respondent Nos.2 and 3 and states that he will abide by the terms of the settlement dated 15th January, 2016. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

Consequently, FIR No. 279/2013 under Sections 354/323 IPC registered at PS Karawal Nagar, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.

The petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
