Petitioners in Crl.M.C.213/2018 seek quashing of FIR No.511/2016 under Section 34 1/323/354/506/34 IPC, Police Station Dwarka North. In FIR No.511/2016, chargesheet has been filed.

¶4

The subject FIRs have been registered against each other on account of disputes relating to a Collaboration Agreement for construction of a property. It is contended by the parties that on account of some misunderstanding, the respective incidents occurred. Parties have since settled their disputes and the Settlement Agreement dated 26.07.20 17 has been entered into.

¶5

All the parties are present in Court and are represented by their counsel and are identified by the Investigating Officer. They contend that they have settled all their disputes and other cases including civil proceedings have already been settled and withdrawn. They submit that they do not wish to press charges against each other and pray that the subject FIRs be quashed.

¶6

Further, in view of the fact that the
