Two persons were today directed by the Delhi High Court to do community service for a year in a gurudwara here while agreeing to quash an FIR lodged against them for allegedly harassing a woman.
The woman lodged the FIR on April 29 alleging that the duo -- Tarandeep Nagra and Gaurav Grover -- harassed her and pulled her clothes on the road.
Accepting the written apology tendered by the accused, Justice Hima Kohli quashed the FIR against but directed them to do the community service for one year.
In its order, the court said both the accused will clean shoes of devotees and utensils for an hour once in a week in Bangla Sahib gurudwara.
The court also suspended their driving licenses for one year.
The court directed Nagra and Grover, residents of West Patel Nagar, to pay Rs 10,000 each to the victim.
In addition to this, it asked Nagra to pay Rs 10,000 to the management of Bangla Sahib Gurudwara and similarly asked Grover to pay Rs 10,000 to a school meant for blind children.
The bench accepted the arguments of advocated Manohar Singh Bakshi and S S Dahiya, appearing for the accused, that the parties have settled their dispute out-of-court as the woman earlier used to be their friend.
