disputes amicably before the Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre on 14th December, 2016 vide Settlement Agreement (Annexure P-3). It is prayed that FIR No. 333/2014 under Sections 420/34 IPC registered at Police Station Dabri be quashed.

He further submits that terms of the settlement have already been complied with and he has already received the entire settled amount.
