CRL.M.C. 4222/2016 This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.152/2013, under Section 354A IPC, registered at Police Station-Sadar Bazar, Delhi and all the proceedings emanating therefrom. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner and the complainant are neighbour and due to some misunderstanding arisen between the parties, FIR No. 152/2013, under Section 354A IPC was registered at Police Station-Sadar Bazar, Delhi. He further submits that later on with the help/intervention of the friends and relatives of both the sides,

the matter has been amicably settled between the parties before mediation centre, Tis Hazari Courts and nothing remains to be adjudicated further. Counsel further submits that in order to maintain good relations amongst the parties in near future, the present FIR in question may be quashed. Respondent No.2/ complainant, Smt. Sabeena Khan is present in Court today and is identified by the Investigating Officer, SI Ashish Sharma of P.S. Sadar Bazar. Respondent No.2/complainant admits that the petitioner is her neighbour and she has amicably compromised/settled the matter with him. She further submits that due to some misunderstanding the FIR was registered and now no dispute is left and further submits that the settlement/compromise has taken place voluntarily, without any force, pressure or coercion.

She further submits that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed against the petitioner. Accordingly, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case since the petitioner and the complainant are stated to be neighbours and the fact that the matter has been amicably settled between the parties, it is in the interest of both the petitioner and the complainant to maintain good relations and harmony in near future, therefore to meet the ends of justice to have better relationship, I deem it appropriate to quash FIR No.152/2013, under Section 354A IPC, registered at Police Station-Sadar Bazar, Delhi and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. The present petition is disposed of accordingly. I.S.
