CRL.M.C. 5012/2018 & CRL.M.C. 5015/2018

1. Petitioner in Crl.M.C.5012/2018 seeks quashing of FIR No.988/2014 under Sections 323/341/308 IPC, Police Station Seema Puri. Petitioner in Crl.M.C.5015/2018 seeks quashing of FIR No.986/2014 under Sections 323/341 IPC, Police Station Seema Puri.

2. Subject FIRs are cross-FIRs. Manik @ Eliyas is the husband of the sister of Jahangir. Subject FIRs were registered consequent to a quarrel that had taken place between them. Nature of injuries sustained was simple.

3. It is contended that the parties have settled their disputes with the intervention of family members and a Compromise Deed dated 24.09.2018 has been executed.

4. Parties are present in Court in person, identified by the Investigating Officers. They submit that they have settled their disputes and do not wish to prosecute the complaint any further and have no objection to quashing of the subject FIRs.

5. In view of the fact that the parties have settled their disputes and do not wish to prosecute the complaint any further, 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 there from.

6. In view of the above, the petitions are allowed. FIR No.988/2014 under Sections 323/341/308 IPC, Police Station Seema Puri and FIR No.986/2014 under Sections 324/341 IPC, Police Station Seema Puri and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom are, accordingly, quashed.

7. Order Dasti under the signatures of the Court Master.
