HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK
4 % 14.11.2017 FIR No. 576/2008 under Sections 323/452/457/380/34 IPC was registered at police station Nangloi on the complaint of Daya Sanker Duby wherein Rajwant Kaur, Harjeet Singh, Raju Kumar Yadav and Mahesh
Kumar are accused. FIR No. 296/2011 under Sections 323/354/34 IPC was registered at police station Nihal Vihar on the complaint of Rajwant Kaur wherein Santosh Kumar Mishra, Daya Shankar Dubey and Vinod Mishra are accused. FIR No. 3/2015 under Sections 323/341/452/506/34 IPC was registered at police station Nihal Vihar on the complaint of Santosh Kumar
Mishra wherein Rajwant Kaur, Harjeet Singh and Jaswant Singh are accused. Rajwant Kaur, Harjeet Singh, Mahesh Kumar, Raju Kumar Yadav, Jaswant Singh, Santosh Kumar Mishra, Daya Shankar Duby and Vinod
Mishra are stated to be known to each other since they live in the same locality.
A perusal of aforesaid FIRs shows that a quarrel took place between them on different occasions, that is, 24/09/08, 27/10/11 and 01/01/15, on some trivial issue which led to registration of aforesaid FIRs. It is submitted that all the above named persons have settled their disputes amicably before the Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Court, Delhi on 10th January, 2017 in
10 respect of all the three FIRs, therefore, aforesaid FIRs and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom may be quashed. Photocopies of proceedings of the Mediation Centre have been placed on record in all the three petitions. Mediation proceedings, containing terms of settlement, have been duly signed by Rajwant Kaur, Sardar Harjeet Singh, Jaswant Singh, Santosh Kumar Mishra, Daya Shankar Duby and Vinod Mishra. Raju
Kumar Yadav and Mahesh Kumar are not the party to the said settlement arrived at before the Mediation Centre. They are accused in FIR No. 576/08 of police station Nangloi wherein Daya Shankar Duby is complainant. Daya
Shannkar Duby submits that he has no objection in case FIR No. 576/08 is quashed qua Mahesh Kumar and Raju Kumar Yadav as well. Complainants
Daya Shankar Duby, Rajwant Kaur and Santosh Kumar Mishra are present in Court and have been identified by ASI Mahesh Kumar of police station, Nihal Vihar and ASI Madan Mohan of police station Nangloi. These complainants submits that they have settled the matter with the accused persons of their own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, therefore, they do not wish to pursue the FIR any further and the same may be quashed.
Keeping in view that neighbours had quarrel with each other on some occasions on some trivial issues and that they have now settled the matter before the Mediation Centre, in the interest ofjustice, aforesaid FIRs and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
All the above petitions are disposed of in the above terms.
Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous.
