counsel for petitioner Nos.1 to 3 and respondent No.2 state that the matter has been settled between the parties and pursuant to the settlement the amount due to respondent No.2 has been paid by petitioner Nos.1 and 2. Learned counsel contends that since the matter has been settled, no useful purpose shall be served in continuing the proceedings pursuant to FIR NO.1100/2007 under Section 135/150 of the Electricity Act registered at Police Station Rohini.
It is also contended that continuing the proceeding shall be waste of public money and it shall be in the interest of justice if the said FIR is quashed against petitioners 1 to 3.
Considering the facts and totality of circumstances, since the matter has been settled between the respondent No.2 and petitioner Nos.1 to 3, no useful purpose shall be served in continuing the FIR NO.1100/2007 under Section 135/150 of the Electricity Act registered at Police Station Rohini. It is also in the interest of justice to quash the said FIR. Therefore, the FIR and all proceeding emanating therefrom against the petitioner Nos.1 to 3 are quashed against petitioner Nos.1 to
3.
With these directions, the petition and the pending application are disposed of. Dasti.
