CRL.M.C. 4068/2017

Statements of the parties have been recorded separately. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and of their own free will and without any coercion, pressure, and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, 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.94/2009 for the offences punishable under Section 324/34 IPC registered at Police Station Jyoti Nagar and also FIR No.95/2009, under Sections 324/452/34 IPC registered at Police Station Jyoti Nagar, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. The petition stands disposed of.
