The contesting parties are present in court. Their credentials have been verified and they have also been identified by their respective counsel.

Parties now wish to live in peace and harmony going forward.

6.

Mr. Anand V. Khatri, learned ASC (Criminal) 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.340/2022 dated 22.04.2022 registered under sections 323/341/506 of the IPC at P.S.: Jyoti Nagar, Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed.
