(‘IPC’), registered at P.S.: Mehrauli, Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom.
The petitioners and respondent nos.2 to 5 submitted that they have settled their disputes on their own free will, without any force or
2019:DHC:6445 W.P.(Crl.) 1989/2019 coercion. Respondent nos.2 to 5 states that they do not want to pursue the matter.
Respondent nos.2 to 5, who are present in Court, have reiterated the aforesaid facts and submitted that they have amicably settled their dispute. Respondent nos.2 to 5 further submitted that they have no objection to the FIR being quashed and the petition being allowed.
