#3 16.03.2011 Present: Petitioners in person with Ms.Cyan Mitra, Advocate. Mr.Sunil Sharma, APP for the State/respondent No.l with 10 SI Kapil Kumar. Respondents No.2 to 5 in person with Mr.D.K.Santoshi, Advocate. + CrI.M.C.No. 696/2011 1. This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking quashing of FIR No.9/2011 under Sections 452/323/324/34 IPC registered at P.S. Shahdara on the complaint of respondent No.3 Sumit s/o Ashok Kumar. 2. The reason for seeking quashing is that the parties are neighbours and the FIR is the result of a stray incident between them. Parties have now amicably settled the matter and now there is no dispute left between them. Thus, the complainant i.e. respondent No.3 and injured respondents No.2,4 and 5 do not wish to prosecute the petitioners pursuant to the FIR No.9/2011 P.S. Shahdara. 3. Petitioners are identified by their counsel Ms.Cyan Mitra. 4. Respondents No.2 to 5 are identified by their counsel Mr.D.K.Santoshi as well as by the Investigating Officer S.I. Kapil Kumar. 5. Parties confirm that with the intervention of friends and neighbours, they have arrived at an amicable settlement and terms of settlement have been reduced into writing and signed by all of them. Respondents No.2 to 5 Digitally Signed By:AMULYA Certify that the digital file and physical file have been compared and the digital data is as per the physical file and no page is missing. Signature Not Verified 3 submit that they have entered into a settlement with the petitioners of their own accord, without any inducement or threat and they do not wish the petitioners to be prosecuted on the basis of their complaint. Respondents No. 2 to 5 submit that copy of terms of settlement is placed on the file of cross case being CrI.M.C. 695/2011. They have also filed their affidavits confirming the settlement. They state that now there is no dispute left between them and they have no objection if the above FIR is quashed. 6. Learned APP submits that in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, he has no objection if the said FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 7. I have considered the rival contentions. Parties admittedly are the neighbours and they have settled the matter. Therefore, in the interest of harmonious neighbourly relations between the parties, I do not find any purpose in keeping the FIR alive and prosecuting the petitioners, particularly when there is no allegation of any previous criminal antecedents against either of the petitioners. Accordingly, FIR No.9/2011 under Sections 452/323/324/34 IPG registered at P.S. Shahdara and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 8. Petition stands disposed of.
