By virtue of the present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), the petitioners seek quashing of the FIR No.0036/2026 dated 28.02.2026 registered at PS.: Preet Vihar, Delhi under Sections 281/125(a)/115/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of Memorandum of Settlement/ Understanding dated 17.03.2026 (Annexure P2), whereby the petitioners and the respondent no.2 have mutually and amicably resolved their disputes.

received the total settlement amount of Rs.1,30,000/- as full and final compensation for medical expenses, damage to the Scooty, etc. Thus, he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 4.

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.

5.

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. 6.

Thus, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.0036/2026 dated 28.02.2026 registered at PS.: Preet Vihar, Delhi under Sections 281/ 125(a)/115/3(5) of the BNS and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
