petitioners.

2.

Notice issued.

3.

Mr. Panna Lal Sharma, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for respondent No.1/State accepts notice. He has opposed this petition on the ground

progress.

With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the present petition is taken up for final hearing and disposal.

complainant and petitioners are living in the same area and due to some misunderstanding a quarrel took place amongst the children, which resulted

into registration of FIR in question.

sent to Observation Homes. Learned counsel next submits that the complainant of FIR in question, who is a minor, is present in the Court with his

father and parents of petitioners are also present in the Court.

Both the sides have prayed before this Court that the parties to this petition are minor and for their better future prospects, a lenient view be taken

and the FIR in question be quashed.

8.

Keeping in view that the dispute between the parties has been amicably resolved and also the fact that the parties involved are minor and living in

the same area, therefore, to restore cordiality and better future prospects, this Court is inclined to quash the FIR in question.
