O R D E R

% 12.11.2018 Notice. Learned APP accepts notice on behalf of respondent no.1. Respondent nos.2 to 4 are present in the Court along with their counsel and have been identified by SI Gurbaksh Singh of police station Sunlight Colony.

Petitioners and respondent nos. 2 to 4 are known to each other as they live in the same locality. A quarrel took place between them on some trivial issue wherein respondent nos. 2 to 4 sustained simple injuries. Hence, FIR No.94/2015 under section 323/341/34 IPC was registered at police station Sunlight Colony on the complaint of respondent no.2.

It is submitted that petitioners and respondent nos.2 to 4 have now settled the matter vide Memorandum of Understanding/Settlement dated 30th October, 2018, therefore, the aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom, may be quashed.

Respondent nos.2 to 4 say that they have settled the matter with petitioners of their own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion and have no objection in case the aforesaid FIR is quashed. Keeping in mind that petitioners and respondents have settled their disputes voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioners. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J NOVEMBER 12, 2018/sm
