% 25.10.2018 By the present petition, petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 241/2018 under Sections 324/341/506/452 IPC registered at PS Jaitpur, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter. Learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State on instructions from Investigating Officer submits that in the above-noted FIR the petitioner is the only accused and the respondent No. 2 the complainant/victim. Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. He states that he has settled the W.P.(CRL) 3264/2018

matter with the petitioner and does not wish to pursue the above-noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

Petitioner who is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel affirms the statement of respondent No.2 and assures that no misbehaviour will take place in future. To show remorse the petitioner undertakes to deposit some costs also.

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, 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. 241/2018 under Sections 324/341/506/452 IPC registered at PS Jaitpur, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed subject to the petitioner depositing a cost of ₹5,000 with the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund, Kerala within four weeks. Receipt thereof will be placed on record.

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

Petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
