Learned APP for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer submits that in the above-noted petition the five petitioners are the only accused and respondents No.2 to 5 the complainant/ victims. Respondents No. 2 to 5 are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. They state that they have settled the matter with the petitioners who are their neighbours before the CRL.M.C. 1745/2016
Mediation Centre, Saket Courts and do not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Petitioners who are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel affirm the statement of respondents No.2 to 5 and state that they will abide by the terms of settlement arrived at between the parties. 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. 348/2012 under Sections 323/325/147/149/34 IPC registered at PS Mehrauli, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.
