CORAM:
HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE INDERMEET KAUR
20.03.2018 I These are two cross FIRs. FIR No.0414/2014 has been
2018:DHC:8663 registered under Sections 3 07/325 read with Section 34 of the IPC at
Police Station Sagar Pur on the complaint of respondent No. 2
(Vineet). Parties are present in person. The second FIR which is FIR
No.0415/2014 was registered under Section 354 of the IPC as also
Sections 8 & 12 of the POCSO Act on the complaint of
"N" '/respondent No. 2. Respondent No. 2/'N' is present in Court.
The petitioners in this FIR are also present.
Parties are neighbours. It is stated that the parties have settled their dispute and they want to bring all animosity to an end. Parties endorse this fact. Presence of the parties has been identified by the
Investigating Officer as also by the learned counsel for the complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioners points out that
'N'/respondent No. 2 in W.P. (Cr!.) No.2657/20 16 who is the complainant in the instant matter is most desirous of settling their dispute as she is stated to be 21 years of age and her parents are looking for a matrimonial alliance for her; in view of the fact that these proceedings are pending before the Court, it is difficult for her parents to find a suitable match. Respondent No. 2/'N' is present in
Court and she endorses this fact. Parties nrav thcit the rrenf proceedings be quashed in terms of the inter-se settlement arrived inter-se the parties which is largely for the reason that the parties want to live in peace and harmony with one another in the neighbourhood.
Learned counsel for the State has opposed this prayer. It is pointed out that in FIR No.0414/2014, grievous injuries had been received by one of the victim i.e. Ajay. His MLC has been perused.
Ajay is also present in Court. He also endorses this submission that
1~ the matter has now been put to rest inter-se the parties.
Noting the above narration of facts, this is a fit case where to secure the ends of justice, FIRs need to be quashed. Accordingly, FIR No.0414/2014 registered under Sections 307/325 read with
Section 34 of the IPC and FIR No.0415/2014 registered under Section
354 of the IPC as also Sections 8 & 12 of the POCSO Act at Police
Station Sagar Pur and all proceedings emanating thereto are quashed.
Petitions disposed of in the above terms.
