CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 27.09.2018 It is submitted that petitioner no.2 and respondent no.2 are neighbours. A quarrel took place between petitioners and respondent no.2 on some trivial issue which led to registration of FIR No. 328/2013 under Sections 354A/323/509/34 IPC at police station Ranhola on the complaint of respondent no.2.

After investigation, offence under section 506 IPC was also included.

It is submitted that petitioners and respondent no.2 have now settled their disputes amicably vide Settlement Deed dated 30th July, 2018, therefore, aforesaid FIR may be quashed.

Respondent no.2 is present in Court along with her counsel and has been identified by SI Azad Singh of police station Ranhola. She submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioners of her own free will and

without any undue force, pressure or coercion and has no objection in case the aforesaid FIR is quashed against the petitioners. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners 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 application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.

A.K. PATHAK, J SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 sm
