% 19.05.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioner for quashing of FIR No.378/2016 under Section 135 of Indian Electricity Act registered at Police Station Okhla Industrial Area. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/respondent No.2 amicably.

(2) Learned counsel for respondent No.2 is present before the Court. I have enquired from him whether the matter has been settled CRL.M.C. 2040/2017

with the petitioner amicably. He has informed that the matter has been settled and all agreed dues have been paid, and he has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.

(3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the petitioner and 'no due certificate' issued by respondent No.2/BSES. (4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioner and the petitioner has paid the dues, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to put an end to the litigation, FIR No.378/2016 under Section 135 of Indian Electricity Act registered at Police Station Okhla Industrial Area and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petitioner is, however, burdened with costs of `40,000/- to be deposited with Prime Minister National Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition and all pending application(s) stand disposed of accordingly.
