Learned Additional Standing counsel for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer states that besides the Petitioner there is no other accused involved in the FIR and besides Respondent No. 2 there is no other complainant/victim.

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the Petitioner and in terms of the settlement arrived at between the parties, she do not want to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

W.P.(CRL) 2022/2016

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. 199/2015 under Sections 292(2)/354/506 IPC and 67/67A of Information Technology Act, 2000 registered at PS G.T.B. Enclave, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed subject to the petitioner depositing a cost of `50,000/- with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within a period of two weeks. Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.

The petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
