By virtue of the present petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), the petitioners seek quashing of the FIR No.219/2024 dated 01.06.2024 registered at PS.: Sarita Vihar under Sections 325/341 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of the oral settlement arrived at The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

inter se the petitioners and the respondent no.2. 2.

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

Respondent no.2, present in Court through VC, also accepts notice. He submits that, in view of the oral settlement arrived at, he does not wish to pursue his criminal complaint and as such, he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

4.

The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court through VC, as well as their credentials as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer.

5.

Facts disclose that the oral 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.219/2024 dated 01.06.2024 registered at PS.: Sarita Vihar under Sections 325/341 of IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioners.
