CRM-M-9195 of 2018 -2In order to verify the veracity and genuineness of the settlement between the parties, they were directed to appear before the trial court and get their statements recorded. The trial court has sent its report dated 30.03.2018 stating therein that the compromise has been effected between the complainant and the accused which appears to be voluntary in nature and without any fear or pressure.

Keeping all the above facts in view, I am of the considered opinion that it is a fit case in which the impugned FIR should be quashed. Keeping the case pending will not serve the ends of justice. The quashing of the FIR will provide the parties to this petition an opportunity to live in an amicable, peaceful and harmonious atmosphere which is not only in the interest of the parties but also for their families and ultimately the society at large.

For the reasons as discussed above, the instant petition is allowed and the impugned FIR No. 837 dated 03.12.2016 (Annexure P-1) registered at Police Station City Hansi, District Hisar along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, qua petitioners, is quashed.
