SANJEEV SACHDEVA, J

1.

The petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 92 of 2011 under Sections 354 of the IPC registered at Police Station Tilak Nagar, New Delhi, based on a

settlement.Â

2.

The parties were working in the same household. It is contended by learned counsel for the parties that parties have settled the dispute with the

intervention of common friends, relatives and neighbours. Settlement deed dated 17.07.2018 has been executed between the parties.Â

3.

The petitioner who is present in Court has expressed regret and remorse at his conduct and apologized to respondent no. 2.Â

4.

Respondent no. 2 is present in court in person, represented by her counsel and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She submits that she has

settled the disputes with the petitioner and is agreeable to the settlement and does not wish to press criminal charges against the petitioner any

further.Â

5.

In view of the fact that the disputes between the petitioner and respondent have been settled, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an

exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of

justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient to quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom.Â

6.

In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No. 92 of 2011 under Sections 354 of the IPC registered at Police Station Tilak Nagar, New

Delhi and the consequent proceedings therefrom are, accordingly quashed.

Order Dasti under signatures of the Court Master.
