Issue notice. Learned APP for the State accepts notice and submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 3.

Since the fresh MoU dated 09.04.2026 is stated to have been filed, however, the same is not on record. Learned counsel for the petitioners has handed over a copy of the same, which is taken on record. 4.

Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the MoU dated 09.04.2026, whereby the respondent no.2 has mutually and amicably resolved the disputes inter se themselves. Respondent no.2 submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

The petitioners and the respondent no.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.118/2020 dated 22.03.2020, PS.: Okhla Industrial Area, Delhi registered under Sections The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
