HIGH COURT OF DELHI
JUDGMENT
ABHISHEK NAIWAL ..... Petitioner
Advocates who appeared in this case:
For the Petitioner : Mr. Harish Kumar, Adv For the Respondents: Mr. Raghuvinder Verma, APP for the State.
SI Praveen Kumar PS Mandawali.
Mr.Ravendra Kumar, Adv. for R-2.
1. Petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No. 173/2014 under Sections 324/341/34 IPC registered Police Station Mandawali, based on a settlement.
2. The subject FIR was registered consequent to a quarrel that took place between the parties. The allegation against the petitioner is that he had fought with the complainant.
3. Learned counsels for the parties submit that the parties have settled their disputes by way of a settlement. As per the settlement, a 2018:DHC:5808 CRL.M.C. 3581/2018 total sum of Rs. 25,000/- has been agreed to be paid to respondent NO. 2. The entire amount has already been paid.
4. The Respondent no. 2 is present in Court, represented by his counsel and is identified by the Investigating Officer. Respondent no.2 submits that he has settled disputes with the petitioner and does not wish to prosecute the complaint any further and has no objection to the quashing of the subject FIR.
5. In view of the fact that the parties have resolved their disputes and respondent no.2 does not wish to press his complaint, 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.
6. In view of the above, the petition is allowed FIR No. 173/2014 under Sections 324/341/34 IPC registered Police Station Mandawali, based on a settlement and the consequent proceedings emanating there from are quashed.
7. Order Dasti under the signatures of the Court Master.
