relatives being the petitioner and her husband have duped the complainant by influencing her to part with her money amounting Rs.25 Lakhs and which they later refused to return.
4.
During the pendency of the proceedings, the parties were referred to the mediation under the aegis of Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre where the parties arrived at a settlement, terms whereof were reduced in writing in the form of agreement dated 30.09.2024, a copy of which is annexed as Annexure D to the present petition. 5.
It is mentioned in the aforesaid settlement agreement that the petitioner and her husband shall pay full and final settlement amount of Rs.20 Lakhs to the respondent no.2.
6.
The full and final settlement amount is stated to have been paid by the petitioner to the respondent no.2 in the manner stated in the settlement agreement. The respondent no. 2, who has joined through VC on a query posed by the Court, affirms the factum of settlement and acknowledges the receipt of the amount of Rs. 20 Lakhs.
7.
She further submits that she has no objection in case the FIR is quashed. The offence is also compoundable.
8.
In view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a settlement, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.
9.
It is, thus, in the interest of justice that the present FIR and all the other proceedings emanating therefrom be quashed.
10.
Consequently, the petition is allowed and the FIR No.158/2018 under Section 406/120B IPC registered at Police Station Roop Nagar alongwith all other proceedings emanating therefrom, is quashed.
