Row among neighbours settled as accused submits undertaking in Delhi HC to ‘organise Bhandara for poor children’

Justice Dayal directed that a report on compliance of the undertaking be filed before the court with photographs, and subject to the undertaking being complied with, the FIR stands quashed. Justice Dayal noted “considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer.”

Earlier, on August 19, while quashing an FIR and a cross-FIR at Mansarovar Park police station, lodged in May, following a request for consent quashing by the neighbours who had feuded over parking, had ordered for pizza and buttermilk to be distributed at a children’s home.

Justice Arun Monga had directed that “both the complainants in the two FIRs are directed to join hands and jointly bear the expenses, which shall be incurred for providing Amul Chaach Tetra Pack along with Mix Vegetable Pizzas to the inmates who are currently residing at Sanskar Ashram, Near GTB Hospital, Dilshad Garden, Delhi.”

The order had further detailed that one of the complainants, who was a baker by profession, shall bake the pizzas “and the same shall be treated as the community service to be jointly carried out by all the complainants and the accused by serving the same.” The investigating officer in the case was also directed to “ensure that the quality of the pizza is the same as has been stated in the menu.”
