Learned APP has opposed the present petition by stating that the FIR in the present case was registered on 17.09.2018 and due to the registration

of FIR, government machinery came in motion and a lot of precious public time has been consumed, therefore, if this Court is inclined to quash FIR,

heavy cost may be imposed upon petitioners.

Learned counsel for petitioners, on instructions from petitioners, who are present in Court, has come forward and agreed to contribute an amount

of Rs.1,00,000/- for welfare purposes. Accordingly, the said amount shall be paid within two weeks in favour of Nirmal Chhaya Complex, Jail Road,

New Delhi for the welfare of destitute women and children and receipt of the same shall be furnished to SHO/IO concerned.

Taking into account the aforesaid facts, this Court is inclined to quash FIR as no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting petitioners any

further.

therefrom are quashed.
