% 12.12.2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No.180/2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 354A/506/509 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station-Palam Village, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement as per Mediation order dated 06.10.2015 has been arrived at between the parties in the matter.

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court today and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioner as per Mediation order dated 06.10.2015. As per said Settlement, the petitioner was required to pay a sum of ₹10,000/- to the respondent No. 2 at the time of quashing the FIR. She states that today she has received the CRL.M.C. 4963/2017

said amount and she has no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioner and does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. 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.180/2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 354-A/506/509 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station-Palam Village, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition is disposed of.
