As per the settlement deed, the parties have settled all their disputes and grievances with respect to both the FIRs. The Settlement has taken place with the intervention of well-wishers, respectables of the village and relatives and respective parties are no longer desirous of pursing their FIRs and, therefore, they have no objection if the abovesaid FIRs are quashed. 11. The concerned injured in FIR 268/2017 are present. They are Praveen, Preeti, Krishna and Sachin. 12. The injured persons in cross FIR are Murti Devi and Shailendra. Murti Devi is present in Court and Shailendra has joined the proceedings through video-conferencing. 13. When asked, they all reiterated the terms of settlement and stated that they would have no objection if the FIRs in question are quashed. 14. They claim that they have entered into the abovesaid settlement out of their own free will, without any coercion and influence from any corner whatsoever and therefore, they would have ‘no objection’ if the respective FIRs are quashed. 15. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, especially, when dispute does not involve any public interest and is, primarily, private in nature. In any case, even the complainants do not wish to press any charges against the opposite side.
