% 02.05.2017 Crl. M.A. No. 7196/2017 (Exemption) Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.

By the present petition the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 674/2015 under Sections 354/451 IPC registered at PS Neb Sarai, 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 respondent No.2 the only

complainant/victim.

Respondent No.2 is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioner vide Memorandum of Understanding dated 22nd February, 2017 with the intervention of the family members, copy whereof is annexed at pages 34-35 of the paper-book. She states that the petitioner has apologised to her and assured that no such misbehaviour will take place in future. She also states that she does not wish to pursue the above noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

Petitioner who is present in Court and is identified by learned counsel affirms the statement of respondent No. 2. Tendering his unqualified apology he assures that no such misbehaviour will take place in future. To show remorse the petitioner undertakes to deposit cost as well. 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, 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. 674/2015 under Sections 354/451 IPC registered at PS Neb Sarai, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed, subject to the petitioner depositing costs of ₹3,000/- with the Juvenile Justice Fund maintained by the Registrar General of this Court within four weeks.
