all disputes are fully and finally settled and both of them undertake that they shall not initiate any proceedings against each other in the future, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient to quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating there from.

¶28

Accordingly, FIR No.117/2017 under Sections 354/341/427/506/509/34 IPC; Police Station Lajpat Nagar and the consequent proceedings emanating there from are hereby quashed.
