Whether court should quash prosecution for offence of outraging modesty of woman on basis of Crude settlement?

The allegations levelled against petitioner are of outraging the
modesty of a woman. The incident in question has not been explained.
Trial Court’s order of 9th February, 2018 simply records that settlement
has been arrived at between the parties. Such crude settlements are not
acceptable, as it will send a wrong signal to the society.
This court is of the considered opinion that it is not a fit case to
quash the F.I.R. in question on the basis of such crude settlement.
