% 11.12.2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No.212/2007 for the offences punishable U/s 420/468/471/120-B/34 of Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC') registered at Police Station-Tilak Marg, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement as per statement of the petitioners recorded on 28.02.2017 before the Trial Court, 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 petitioner in terms of statement of the petitioners recorded on 28.02.2017 before the Trial Court. As per said statement, the petitioner no.2 was required to pay CRL.M.C. 4633/2017

remaining sum of ₹75,000/- to the respondent No. 2 at the time of quashing the FIR. She states that she has received sum of Rs.75,000/- (Rupees Seventy Five Thousand only) through DD No.291570 dated 08.12.2017 drawn on Yes Bank, Mumbai Branch and now she has no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioners 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.212/2007 for the offences punishable U/s 420/468/471/120-B/34 of Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC') registered at Police Station-Tilak Marg, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition alongwith pending application is disposed of. Dasti under signature of the court master to the parties. SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J DECEMBER 11, 2017/ssc CRL.M.C. 4633/2017
