Response by way of affidavit as well as proof of identity stands filed by the respondent no.2.

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 vide Compromise Deed dated 08.08.2018.

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, has reiterated the

aforesaid facts and submitted that since the matter stands settled, she has no objection to the petition being allowed and the FIR being quashed.

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.

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. The petitioners are warned to be careful in future and to not indulge in any criminal activity. 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 No.864/2017, under Sections 308/506/509/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Mehrauli, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
