% 16.03.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioner for quashing of FIR No.367/15 under Sections 354A IPC and Section 12 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offence Act, 2012 registered at Police Station Seemapuri. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/respondent No.2 amicably.

(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court and CRL.M.C. 4878/2016

is identified by the Investigating Officer. I have enquired from the complainant who is presently an adult whether the matter has been settled with the petitioner amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Settlement/Compromise deed dated 20.10.2016 signed by the parties is on record. It is stated that cross-case for quashing of the FIR is listed before the Bench of HMJ Vipin Sanghi (Court No.34). (4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioner, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to put an end to the litigation, FIR No.367/15 under Sections 354A IPC and Section 12 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offence Act, 2012 registered at Police Station Seemapuri and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petitioner is, however, burdened with costs of `20,000/- to be deposited with Prime Minister Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition is disposed of accordingly.
