% 13.03.2026 1.

By virtue of the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.), the petitioners seek quashing of the FIR No.17/2014 dated 03.01.2014 registered at PS.: Shakar Pur, Delhi under Sections 392/411/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom since the petitioners and respondent no.2 have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated 10.02.2026 (MoU), which is also supported by affidavits of the petitioners and of respondent no.2, alongwith proofs of their identities respectively. 2.

Issue notice. Learned APP for the State accepts notice and records his objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

3.

Respondent no.2, who is present in person, also accepts notice and states that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 4.

The petitioners and the respondent no.2, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer. 5.

Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the parties and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s). More so, the petitioners belong to a humble background with hardly any means to meet ends. In view thereof, the parties 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. 6.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.17/2014 dated 03.01.2014 registered at PS.: Shakar Pur, Delhi under Sections 392/411/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

7.

Lastly, considering the present FIR is pertaining to the year 2014 and much water has flown since then, the petitioners as a gesture of goodwill, volunteer to share the cost equally for serving tea and snacks to all the staff/ personnel of PS: Shakar pur, Delhi after coordinating with the concerned Investigating Officer on a Saturday/ Sunday in March 2026 itself.

As such, the present petition, along with the pending applications, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
