The petitioners and the authorised representative of respondent nos.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer.

Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the petitioners and the respondent no.2 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect. In view thereof, they shall remain bound by all the terms and conditions of the settlement arrived inter se themselves. As such, following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2014) 6 SCC 466, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioners will be an exercise in futility. 7.

Thus, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.199/2017 dated 22.11.2017 registered at PS.: Economic Offences Wing under Sections 420/447/454/457/506/511/120B of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioner. 8.
