that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 3.
Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid settlement dated 14.10.2025 and as such, she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 4.
The petitioner and the respondent nos.2, present in Court, 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 petitioner, respondent no.2 and others 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. 6.
Thus, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.248/2022 dated 28.02.2022 registered at PS.: Jyoti Nagar under Sections 354A/506/323/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 7.
Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
