settlement amount from the petitioners. She submits that in view of
the settlement, she does not want to pursue the said FIR and submits
that the said FIR may be quashed.

them against each other. Since the parties have amicably settled all
their disputes, no fruitful purpose would be served in further pursuing
the said FIR. Hence, to secure ends of justice, the FIR bearing
