O R D E R

% 03.10.2018 Respondent no.2 Mr. Puneet Kumar is present in Court along with his counsel and accepts notice. He has been identified by SI Sohan Veer Singh of police station Darya Ganj.

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 before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi on 3rd May, 2017.

Petitioners have paid the settled amount of `1,50,000/- to respondent no. 2, vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed

on record. Respondent no. 2 says that he has no objection in case FIR No. 221/2013 under Sections 326/34 IPC registered at Police Station Darya Ganj and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 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. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
