4.

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

5.

The court has interacted with the parties, who have confirmed that they have now resolved the matter and the Mediated Settlement Agreement dated 22.10.2024 has been signed by them closing all issues amicably. Parties now wish to live in peace and harmony going forward.

6.

Ms. Richa Dhawan, 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. 67/2013 dated 19.02.2013 registered under sections 354-A/323/341 IPC at P.S.: Farsh Bazar, East Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed. 9.
