BRIJESH SETHI, J (oral)

The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No. 398/2017, under Sections 354/354A/506/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, registered at P.S.: Rani Bagh and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioners and respondent no.2 are neighbours. A dispute over a trivial issue led to the registration of the aforementioned FIR against the petitioners.

The petitioners and respondent no.2 have submitted that they have settled their disputes amicably vide Settlement Deed dated 15.07.2019.

The Investigating Officer, who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent no.3.

Respondent no.2 reiterates the aforesaid facts and submits that they have amicably settled their dispute without any pressure or coercion from any source whatsoever. Respondent no.2 has further submitted that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed and the petition is allowed.

In view of the above facts, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the parties entangled in criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No. 398/2017, under Sections 354/354A/506/509/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Rani Bagh and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
