O R D E R

% 23.11.2017 By the present petition the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 247/2017 under Sections 354D/506 IPC registered at PS Jaitpur, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter. Learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer submits that though in the FIR the respondent No.2 had mentioned about one more person, however she was not able to identify the said person and charge-sheet has only been filed against the petitioner herein and the respondent No.2 herein is the only complainant/ victim in the FIR.

W.P.(CRL) 1482/2017

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the Petitioner and does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

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. 247/2017 under Sections 354D/506 IPC registered at PS Jaitpur, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.

Petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
