O R D E R

% 07.09.2016 By the present petition, the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.194/2013 under Section 354A(1) IPC at PS Rani Bagh on the complaint of respondent No.2 as the parties have settled the matter. Learned APP for the State on instructions from the investigating officer submits that in the above-noted FIR the petitioner is the only accused and respondent No.2 is the only complainant/victim. Respondent No.2 is present in Court and is identified by her counsel and the investigating officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioner who was her erstwhile employer and does not have any claim whatsoever in respect of her employment with the petitioner. She submits that she does not wish to pursue the above-noted FIR and the proceedings

pursuant thereto.

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.194/2013 under Section 354A(1) IPC at PS Rani Bagh, 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.
