Counsel for the petitioner submits that presently the petitioner and the respondent No.2 are residents of same locality and due to some misunderstanding arisen between the parties, a quarrel had taken place resulting into registration of FIR No.527/2013, under Sections 354-B/509 IPC at Police Station-North Rohini, Delhi. He has further submitted that the wife and daughter of the petitioner too got registered a cross-FIR bearing FIR No.526/2013, under Sections 354-B/509 IPC and Section 8 POCSO Act, at Police Station-North Rohini, Delhi. Counsel further submits that after the registration of the two FIRs, the near relatives and the friends intervened

and the matter has been amicably settled between the parties vide compromise deed dated 15.04.2017 and nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them and to have better relationship in near future, the present FIR, which is coming as a hurdle in their way, may be quashed. The respondent No.2/complainant, Ms.Ruby is present in Court today and have been identified by the Investigating Officer W/ASI Sajni, PS-North Rohini, Delhi. The respondent No.2 admits that she has settled the matter amicably with the petitioner vide compromise deed dated 15.04.2017. She further submits that the settlement/compromise has taken place voluntarily, without any force, pressure or coercion. She submits that nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them and she has no objection if the FIR in question is quashed.

Keeping in view the above facts and circumstances, since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties who are stated to be residents of same locality and nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them, to promote peace in the neighbourhood and for maintaining good relationship between the parties, I deem it appropriate to quash the FIR and all its subsequent proceedings.
