HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

% 14.09.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Mr. Pankaj Sharma is present in Court and accepts notice. He has been identified by SI Manoj Kumar of police station I.P. Estate. Respondent no.2 submits that he has settled the matter with petitioner of his own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, inasmuch as has received the settled amount of `45,000/- and has no objection in case FIR no.54/2017 under Sections 279/337 IPC registered at Police Station I.P. Estate and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner 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. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
