Vide this petition, quashing of FIR No. 175/2018, registered at

W.P.(Crl.) 411/2020 2

Mr. R.S.Kundu, Additional Standing Counsel, accepts notice for

respondent No.1/State and Mr. Sahil Aggarwal, Advocate, accepts notice

for respondent No.2.

Learned Additional Standing Counsel for respondent-State submits

that respondent No.2 is represented through its Director, who is present in

the Court and he has been identified to be so, by Investigating Officer of

this case.

Mr. Bharat Sharma, Director of respondent No.2, present in the

Court, submits that the dispute between the parties has been amicably

resolved in terms of Settlement of 23^rd December, 2019 and he affirms

the contents of his Affidavit of 4^th February, 2020 supporting this petition

and submits that now no dispute with petitioner survives and so, the

proceedings arising out of the FIR in question be brought to an end.

Upon hearing and on perusal of the FIR of this Case, I find that

continuance of proceedings arising out of the FIR in question would be an

exercise in futility as the misunderstanding, which led to registration of

the FIR, now stands cleared between the parties.

Accordingly, this petition is allowed and FIR No. 175/2018, under

Section 408 IPC, registered at police station Hauz Khas, New Delhi and

the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed qua petitioner.

This petition and application stand disposed of accordingly.
