% 05.12.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 Ms. Sachin Thakur is present in Court along with his counsel and accepts notice. He has been identified by SI Nishant Saran of police station Gandhi Nagar.

Respondent no.2 submits that he has settled the matter with the petitioners of his own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no. 2 says that he has no objection in case FIR No. 218/2018 under Sections 323/341/506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Gandhi Nagar and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are

quashed. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 to this effect is also on record. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.

A.K. PATHAK, J.
