% 14.09.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh is present in Court along with his counsel and accepts notice. He has been identified by SI Sanjay Kumar of police station Harsh Vihar.

Respondent no.2 submits that he has settled the matter with the petitioner of his own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, vide a Settlement Deed dated 1st September, 2018. Petitioner has paid `50,000/- to the respondent no. 2, vide a demand draft, photocopy

whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 says that he has received the entire settled amount and he has no objection in case FIR no.195/2018 under Sections 279/323/504/506 IPC registered at Police Station Harsh Vihar and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 is also on record.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
