the respondent no.2, which is accompanied by their respective proofs of identity.
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 MOU, whereby out of total sum of Rs.1,50,000/-, the petitioner has already paid him a settlement amount of Rs.15,000/- and a Demand Draft being DD No.006117 dated 02.05.2026 (HDFC Bank) of Rs.1,35,000/- has been handed over to respondent no.2 today as the full and final settlement towards all his disputes in the present matter. 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) 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 petitioner will be an exercise in futility.
7.
Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.263/2024 dated 25.06.2024 registered at PS: Greater Kailash, Delhi under Sections 304A/279 IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
