By the present petition the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 673/2016 under Sections 323/379/506/509/34/354B IPC registered at PS Binda Pur, 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 the Investigating Officer states that in the above noted FIR there are the two petitioners now impleaded by way of amended memo of parties as the other persons were not identified by the complainant and respondent No.2 is the complainant/victim and respondent No.3 the other victim. Respondent Nos.2 and 3 are present in Court and are identified by the Investigating Officer. They state that they have settled the matter with the petitioners and do not wish to pursue the above noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

Petitioners who are present in Court and are identified by learned counsel affirm the statement of respondent Nos. 2 and 3. To show remorse the petitioners undertake to deposit costs as well. 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, 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.
