The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No.1723/2015, under Sections 308/452/323/427/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.: Tilak Nagar, New Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

The petitioners and their counsel as well as respondent Nos.2 and 3 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. 3.

Respondent Nos.2 and 3, who are present in Court, have reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that since the petitioners have tendered unconditional apology to them and have assured that they shall not indulge in such activities in future, they have now forgiven them and have no objection

to the petition being allowed and the FIR being quashed. 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioners further submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to contribute a sum of Rs.30,000/- for some social beneficial cause in any trust or association. 5.

The Investigating Officer ('IO'), who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent Nos.2 and 3 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 socio-economic background of the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to give them a chance to reform and reintegrate into the society as productive members. The petitioners are warned to be careful in future and not indulge in such activities again in future. 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.1723/2015, under Sections 308/452/323/427/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'), registered at P.S.

: Tilak Nagar, New Delhi and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to deposit of a sum of Rs.30,000/- within two weeks by the petitioners, out of which Rs.10,000/- be deposited in the Bharat Ke Veer Corpus Fund, Rs. 10,000/- be deposited in favour of Delhi Police Martyrs' Fund, Account No.18200110036907, UCO Bank, IFSC Code:UCBA0001820 and Rs.10,000/- in Delhi High Court Staff Welfare Fund, SB A/c No.15530110074442. The receipts of the deposits be filed in the Registry within two weeks.

to the APP through the I.O. within one week thereafter. In case the petitioners fail to deposit the said sum, the prosecution shall be entitled to move an application for passing appropriate orders.

7.

Petition is disposed of in above terms.
