CRL.M.C. 3766/2017 This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.1081/2015, under Sections 308/323/341/34 IPC, registered at Police Station-Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi and all proceedings emanating therefrom. Counsel for the petitioners submits that presently the petitioners and the respondent Nos.2 and 3 are residents of nearby locality and due to some misunderstanding arisen between the parties, a quarrel had taken place resulting into registration of FIR No.1081/2015, under Sections 308/323/341/34 IPC at Police Station-Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi. Counsel further submits that after the registration of the FIR, the near relatives and the friends intervened and the matter has been amicably settled between the

parties vide compromise deed dated 05.09.2017 and nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them and to have better relationship in near future, the present FIR, which is coming as a hurdle in their way, may be quashed.

Respondent No.2 Mr.Rahul Singh and respondent No.3 Mr.Vipin are present in Court today and have been identified by the Investigating Officer SI Praveen Sharma. The respondent Nos.2 and 3 admit that they have settled the matter amicably with the petitioners vide compromise deed dated 05.09.2017. They further submit that the settlement/compromise has taken place voluntarily, without any force, pressure or coercion. They submit that nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them and they have no objection if the FIR in question is quashed.

Keeping in view the above facts and circumstances, since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties who are stated to be residents of nearby locality and nothing remains to be adjudicated further between them, to promote peace in the neighbourhood and for maintaining good relationship between the parties, I deem it appropriate to quash the FIR and all its subsequent proceedings. Consequently, FIR No.1081/2015, under Sections 308/323/341/34 IPC, registered at Police Station-Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi and all proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed. Parties to remain bound by the terms of settlement dated 05.09.2017. The present petition is allowed and disposed of accordingly. Copy of this order be given dasti, as prayed.
