(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court along with her counsel. The Investigating Officer present in the court has W.P.(CRL) 2053/2016
identified her.
I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.
It is informed that parties have agreed to get the cross-FIR quashed.

In the interest of justice and to put an end to the litigation, FIR No.1556/2015 under Sections 354A/506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Hari Nagar and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
(5) The petitioners are, however, burdened with cost of `20,000/- to be deposited with Prime Minister National Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition is disposed of accordingly.
