The contesting parties are present in court and their credentials have been verified.

5.

The court has interacted with respondent No.2, as also with petitioners, who have confirmed that they have now resolved the matter and a Memorandum of Understanding dated 18.12.2025 has been signed by them closing all issues amicably. Parties now wish to live in peace and harmony going forward.

6.

Mr. Sanjay Lao, learned Standing Counsel confirms that the State has no objection to the subject FIR being quashed. 7.

In the circumstances, in line with the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2012) 10 SCC 303 as also in Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2014) 6 SCC 466, this court sees no reason why the subject FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom should not be quashed. This court is of the view that in light of the settlement between the contesting parties, continuing with the subject FIR and all subsequent proceedings would be an exercise in futility and would not be conducive to peace and harmony between the parties. 8.

Accordingly FIR No. 370/2025 dated 28.10.2025 registered under sections 69/351/3(5) of the BNS at P.S.: Vikaspuri, Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed. 9.

Petition stands disposed-of.

10.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed-of.
