O R D E R

% 16.12.2016 By the present petition, the Petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 65/2013 under Sections 354/509 IPC registered at PS Dabri, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 and proceedings pursuant thereto as the parties have settled the matter.

Learned counsel for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer states in the above noted FIR the two petitioners are the only accused and respondent No.2 the only complainant/victim. Respondent No. 2 who is present in Court and identified by the Investigating Officer states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners before the Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts on 21st September, 2015 and does not wish to pursue the above noted FIR and proceedings pursuant thereto as the petitioners have tendered their unqualified apology and assure that no harm will be caused to her. The petitioners who are

present in Court and identified by learned counsel affirm the statement of respondent No.2 and state that they will abide by the terms of settlement arrived at between the parties on 21st September, 2015 copy whereof has been placed at pages 29 and 30 of the paper book. 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, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, 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.

Consequently, FIR No. 65/2013 under Sections 354/509 IPC registered at PS Dabri, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.

The petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
