Complainant i.e. respondent No. 2 herein has entered into witness-box, albeit, examined in part as she is yet to be cross-examined. 5. In the interregnum, both the parties have reached an amicable settlement and compromised the matter under the aegis of Delhi Mediation Centre, Rohini District Courts, Delhi. 6. Respondent No. 2 has joined the proceedings through videoconferencing and she has also been duly identified by her counsel who has also joined the proceedings through videoconferencing. IO is also present and she also identifies respondent No. 2. 7. Respondent No. 2, when asked, submitted that she has settled the matter with the petitioner. She submits that petitioner is remorseful for his act and conduct and has assured not to repeat any such thing in future and keeping in mind the overall facts and his apology, she has already forgiven him, without any monetary consideration. She submits that she has entered into the abovesaid settlement out of her own free will, without any coercion and influence from any corner whatsoever and therefore, she would have ‘no objection’ if FIR in question is quashed. 8.

In any case, even the complainant does not wish to press any charges against the petitioner. 9. Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 528 of the BNSS, it is deemed appropriate to quash the instant FIR. 10.
