The petitioners No.1 and 2 have produced proof of their identity in the form of the original Aadhaar Cards of the petitioner No.1 No. bearing No.[REDACTED] as Ex.CW-1/A, Election Commission Identity Card of the Petitioner No.2 bearing No.BQF1640820 as Ex.CW-1/B, and original Aadhar Card of the respondent No.2 bearing No.[REDACTED] being Ex.CW-1/C.

The respondent No.2 in his statement on oath on examination

by the Court has affirmed to have signed the Memorandum of understanding/settlement deed dated 3.10.2017 at point on Ex.CW-2/A voluntarily of his own accord without any duress, pressure or coercion from any quarter in view of the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and the respondent No.2 whereby the petitioner No.1 has agreed to assist the respondent No.2 in quashing the FIR No. 132/2011 under Sections 323/327/379/411/34 of IPC 1860, PS Pandav Nagar which had been got registered out of misunderstanding and that he does not seek that the petitioners be punished in relation to the commission of the offences under sections 435/34 Indian Penal Code, 1860 any further. The respondent No.2 has further testitied to the effect that he does not oppose the prayer made by the petitioners and having signed the settlement deed dated 3.10.2017 of his own accord without any duress, pressure or coercion from any quarter.

The State also does not oppose the prayer made by the petitioner seeking quashing of the above stated FIR in the circumstances.

Apparently the respondent No.2 and the petitioners are residing in the same locality and taking into account the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and the respondent No.2, there appears no reason to disbelieve the statement made by the respondent No.2 that he has arrived at settlement with the petitioners voluntarily of his own accord without any duress, pressure or coercion from any quarter and the factum that the petitioner No.1 has also undertaken to assist in getting the proceedings in relation to the FIR No. 132/2011 under

Sections 323/327/379/411/34 of IPC 1860, PS Pandav Nagar against the respondent No.2 quashed and it is considered appropriate to maintain peace and harmony between the parties and to put quietus to the litigation between the petitioners and the respondent No.2, the petition is allowed and the FIR No.569/2010, under Sections 435/34 Indian Penal Code, 1860, Police Station Mandawali and all proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

The petition is disposed of.
