Section 3 of the SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 registered at
Police Station- Vasant Kunj (North) and the proceedings emanating therefrom.
The facts in brief are that the complainant who was a Ph.D. student with the Jawaharlal Nehru University complained of harassment at the hands of petitioners, who are her professors inter alia because she belongs to a backward community. The said complaint fructified into the registration of the subject

(Poonam Kanaujia v. Jawaharlal Nehru University & Ors.), the disputes between the parties have been resolved. The complainant has been permitted to complete her education and has in fact been awarded a Ph.D. Degree.
Counsel for the petitioners undertakes that they shall provide the complainant with the requisite recommendation required by the latter to publish her papers within a period of two weeks from today.
Counsel for the parties, therefore, urge that no useful purpose shall now be served by proceeding with the subject FIR. Consequently, since the dispute arising out of the misunderstanding between the complainant and her professors has been settled amicably, no useful purpose shall be served by proceeding with the subject FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom. In the circumstances, the FIR No.174/2011 under Sections 420/468/469/471/355/356/34/120B IPC read with Section 3 of the SC & ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 registered at Police Station- Vasant Kunj (North), Delhi, and the proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby set aside and quashed qua the petitioners.
The writ petitions are disposed of accordingly. Pending applications also stand disposed of
Dasti.
