% 24.08.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Smt. Preeti Gupta is present in Court along with her counsel, who accepts notice. She has been identified by W/ASI Sushma of police station Uttam Nagar.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioners of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion vide Deed of Settlement/Memorandum of Understanding dated 14th May, 2018. Petitioners have paid ₹5 lacs to the respondent no. 2 today in Court vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record.

Respondent no.2 says that she has no objection in case FIR No. 793/2017 under Section 354(A) IPC registered at police station Uttam Nagar is quashed.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous.

Dasti.
