Delhi HC quashes voyeurism, stalking FIR against ice cream vendor

NEW DELHI: (Mar 22) The Delhi High Court has quashed an FIR registered against an ice cream vendor for voyeurism and stalking based on a compromise between the parties and appreciated his "benevolent gesture" to give ice cream to all personnel at Model Town police station.

Justice Saurabh Banerjee observed that since there was a voluntary settlement in the matter, continuing the FIR, registered in 2018 against the petitioner would be an exercise in futility.

"Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.23/2018 dated 20.01.2018 registered at PS: Model Town under Sections 354(C)/354(D)/385/384 IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed," the court said in the order passed on March 13.
