5.

The court has interacted with respondents Nos.2 and 3, as also with petitioners, who have confirmed that they have now resolved the matter and a Memorandum of Understanding/Settlement dated 06.01.2026 has been signed by them closing all issues amicably. Parties now wish to live in peace and harmony going forward. 6.

Mr. Shoaib Haider, learned APP 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, case FIR No.493/2024 dated 20.12.2024 registered under sections 308(3)/333/351/3(5) of the BNS at P.S.: Jamia Nagar, Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed. 9.

Petition stands disposed-of.

10.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed-of. ANUP JAIRAM BHAMBHANI, J JANUARY 15, 2026/V.Rawat The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 20/01/2026 at 12:19:59
