% 17.12.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 Ms. Jaswant Singh is present in Court along with his counsel and accepts notice.

He has been identified by ASI Ravinder of police station Mangol Puri.

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, vide a Settlement/Agreement dated 22nd May, 2018.

Respondent no. 2 says that he has no objection in case FIR No. 390/2012

under Sections 308/34 IPC registered at Police Station Mangol Puri 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. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.

A.K. PATHAK, J.
