Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that on 09.05.2012, on the basis of the complaint of respondent no. 2, the present FIR was registered on 25.10.2018 against the petitioners under the relevant sections. 6.
It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter and in support of the said settlement, the parties have executed an indemnity bond dated 17.12.2025, whereby a sum of ₹1,00,000/- has been given by the petitioners to respondent no. 2. . 7.
This Court notes that the FIR in this case was registered in the year 2012. Charge-sheet was also filed in the year 2012 itself. However, the learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 2 states that respondent no. 2 in this case was summoned for the first time in the year 2019 and thereafter the parties have settled their disputes.
8.
On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that he has entered into compromise out of his own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated by respondent no. 2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties. Respondent no. 2 further states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 9.
In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.
