% 02.05.2019 1.

The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.145/2015, under Sections 354-A/354/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.: Dwarka Sector-23, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

Affidavit on behalf of the respondent No.2 stands filed. 3.

The petitioners and respondent No.2 as well as learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the parties have settled their disputes on their own free will, without any force or coercion before the Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi on 27.4.2018.

4.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that in terms of the settlement arrived at between the parties, she has no objection to the petition being allowed and the FIR being quashed.

5.

The Investigating Officer ('IO'), who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent No.2 and has also verified the settlement. The IO also stated that there is no other case pending against the petitioners.

6.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the settlement arrived at between the parties and taking into consideration the age and socioeconomic background of the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to give the petitioners a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as productive members. Taking into consideration the remorseful attitude of the petitioners, this Court is also of the view that no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the parties entangled in the criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No145/2015, under Sections 354-A/354/509/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Dwarka Sector-23, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

7.

Petition is disposed of in above terms.
