without any threat, pressure and coercion as per the Compromise-CumSettlement Deed dated 21.09.2017.

In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and 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.826/2015 for the offences punishable under Sections 420/406/454/467/468/506/120-B IPC registered at Police Station North Rohini, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.
