% 13.11.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no. 2 Ms. Shivani Verma is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Ompal Singh of police station Khajuri Khas.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, vide a Compromise Deed dated 2nd November, 2018. Respondent no. 2 says that she has no objection in case FIR No.276/2013 under Sections

452/354/427/506 IPC registered at Police Station Khajuri Khas and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.

A.K. PATHAK, J.
