CRL.M.C. 3029/2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking quashing of FIR No.113/2016 for the offences punishable under Sections 279/337 IPC registered at Police Station-Delhi Cantt., Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement has been arrived at between the parties in the matter. Respondents No.2 and 3 are present in Court today and are identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. They state that they have settled the matter with the petitioner with their own free will and CRL.M.C. 3029/2017

choice without any threat, pressure and coercion as per Compromise Deed dated 27.07.2017. They further states that today they have received a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) from the petitioner through two DD Nos.540612 & 540613 of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) each, drawn on Punjab & Sind Bank, Mata Gujri School, G.K., New Delhi. They further state that they have no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioner and do not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. A photocopy of DD is taken on record. Statements of the parties have been recorded separately.

In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and of their own free will and without any coercion, pressure, 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. Consequently, FIR No.113/2016 for the offences punishable under Sections 279/337 IPC registered at Police Station-Delhi Cantt., Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. The petition is disposed of.
