% 09.01.2017 1.

By the present petition, the Petitioner seek quashing of FIR No. 509/2014 under Sections 354-D IPC registered at PS R. K. Puram, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 Asha Rani and the proceedings thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter. 2.

Learned APP for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer states that in the above noted FIR, petitioner is the only accused and respondent No.2 is the only complainant/victim. 3.

Respondent No.2 is present in Court and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She states that with the intervention of the elders of the two families, matter has been settled and since the petitioner has apologised and assured her that he will not misbehave in future, she does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the CRL.M.C. 48/2017

proceedings pursuant thereto.

4.

The petitioner who is present in Court and is identified by learned counsel affirms the statement of respondent No.2. He tenders his unqualified apology and assures the Court that no such misbehaviour will take place in future. To show remorse, he also states that he would deposit a cost of ₹10,000/-.

5.

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.

6.

Consequently, FIR No. 509/2014 under Sections 354-D IPC registered at PS R. K. Puram, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed, subject to the petitioner depositing a sum of ₹10,000/- with the Juvenile Justice Fund maintained by the Registrar General of this Court within four weeks.

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

The petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
