% 22.03.2017 By the present petition the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 115/2010 under Sections 324/34 IPC registered at PS Tilak Nagar, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter. Learned APP for the State on instructions submits that in the above noted FIR the two petitioners are the only accused. Though two other persons were also stated to be present at the spot in the FIR however, no overt act is attributed to them. He further states that the respondent No.2 is the only complainant/victim in the above noted FIR. CRL.M.C. 102/2017

The Respondent No.2 Mr. Gurjeet Singh who is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel states that with the intervention of the family friends he has settled the matter with the petitioners who have apologised for their act to him. He further states that he does not wish to pursue the above noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Petitioners who are present in Court and are identified by learned counsel affirm the statement of respondent No. 2 and tender their unqualified apology. They assure that no such misbehaviour will take place with anyone in future and to show remorse the petitioners agree to deposit a cost as well.

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, 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. 115/2010 under Sections 324/34 IPC registered at PS Tilak Nagar, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed subject to the each petitioner depositing a cost of ₹10,000/- with the Delhi High Court Staff Welfare Fund within four weeks.
