O R D E R

% 12.12.2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No.1016/2014 for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station-Prashant Vihar, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement dated 07.12.2016 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 and the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners. As per said Settlement, the petitioners were required to pay a sum of ₹50,000/- to the respondent No. 2 at the time of quashing the FIR. She states that today she has received the said amount and CRL.M.C. 5179/2017

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.1016/2014 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A/406/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station-Prashant Vihar, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition alongwith pending application is disposed of. SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J DECEMBER 12, 2017/ssc CRL.M.C. 5179/2017
