Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that though the petitioner is also implicated in another FIR bearing No.60/2023, registered at Cyber Police Station South, Delhi however, appropriate steps have been taken pursuant to the MoU dated 30.04.2026 and an application qua compounding thereof is already pending before the learned Trial Court. 3.

Issue notice. Learned APP for the State accepts notice and submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 4.

Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding dated 28.04.2026, whereby the petitioner has already paid him a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- as full and final settlement of all his present, past and future claims, etc. and he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 5.

The petitioner and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the IO. 6.

Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the petitioner and the respondent no.2 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s). 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 petitioner will be an exercise in futility. 7.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No. 90/2024 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

dated 11.09.2024 registered at PS.: Cyber Police Station South West, Delhi under Sections 419/420 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

As such, the present petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
