petitioner in terms of Settlement deed/Compromise Deed dated 31.10.2017. As per said Settlement Deed/Compromise, the petitioners were required to pay a sum of ₹30,000/- to the respondent No. 2 at the time of quashing the FIR and today they have paid Rs.30,000/- in cash to her (respondent No.2). She states that 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.1031/2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 354/354-B/341/323/506/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station-Mehrauli, New Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

However, the petitioner is burdened with a cost of Rs.7000/- (Rupees Seven Thousand only) and is directed to deposit the amount in Prime Minister Relief Fund and submit a receipt on record. Receipt of cost of Rs.7000/- is placed on record. The petition alongwith pending application is disposed of. SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J DECEMBER 05, 2017/ssc CRL.M.C. 5101/2017
