CRL.M.C. 542/2025 By way of the present petition filed under section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, the petitioner seeks quashing of case FIR No. 313/2021 dated 09.08.2021 registered under sections 279/337 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC') at P.S.: Vasant Kunj North, Delhi.

respondent No.2 confirming that he has settled the subject matter of the FIR and he has received a settlement amount of Rs. 1,20,000/- (Rs. One Lac Twenty Thousand Only) and consented to the subject FIR being quashed.

3.

A copy of the statement of respondent No.2 has also been appended to the order.

4.

The petitioner as well as respondent No.2 are present in court. The court has interacted with the parties and is satisfied that the parties have settled the matter by a lawful compromise. 5.

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. 6.

Accordingly, case FIR No. 313/2021 dated 09.08.2021 registered under sections 279/337 IPC at P.S.: Vasant Kunj North, Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed. 7.

The petition stands disposed-of.

8.

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