CRL.M.C. 4327/2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No.93/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station-Crime (Women) Cell, Nanakpura, District Special Police Unit for Women & Children, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement has been arrived at between the parties in the matter. Respondent No.2 is present in Court today and is identified by the learned counsel. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners with her own free will and choice without any threat, pressure and coercion as per the terms and conditions recorded on 29.11.2016 before the Mediation CRL.M.C. 4327/2017

Centre, Dwarka Courts, Delhi. She further states that she has already received Rs.9,65,000/- (Rupees Nine lacs Sixty Five Thousand Only) from the petitioners and today, she has received the balance amount of Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees Two lacs Only) from the petitioners through Demand Draft No.282566 dated 24.08.2017 drawn on Punjab & Sind Bank, SCO-98, Huda Market, Sector10-A, Gurgaon branch. She further states that she has no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioners and does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Petitioners No.5 and 8 are exempted from personal appearance through counsel.

Statements of the parties have been recorded separately. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and out 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.93/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station-Crime (Women) Cell, Nanakpura, District Special Police Unit for Women & Children, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. The petition is disposed of along with pending application. SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J OCTOBER 27, 2017 afa CRL.M.C. 4327/2017
