4. Notice issued. 2020:DHC:2174

5. Notice is accepted by learned APP for State and by respondent no.2 through video conferencing and with the consent of counsel for parties, the present petition is taken up for final disposal.

6. The present petition is filed on the ground that parties have settled their disputes and respondent no.2 has no objection if the present petition is allowed.

9. Learned APP has opposed the present petition by submitting that injury received by the injured is grievous in nature, however, if this Court is inclined to quash the FIR, cost may be imposed upon the petitioners.

10. I found force in the submission of learned APP, however, keeping in view the financial condition of the petitioners, I am not inclined to impose cost.

11. Since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and complainant/respondent no.2 is no more interested to purse the present FIR, no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting petitioners any further.
