% 05.05.2026 1.

By virtue of the present petition under Section 531(2)(a) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 492/2022 dated 28.07.2022 registered at PS.: Jagat Puri, Delhi under Sections 323/354/354(B)/451/504/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of the Settlement Agreement dated 01.04.2026 [Annexure D] arrived between the petitioners and the respondent no.2 before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi, which is accompanied by their respective proofs of identity.

2.

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

whereby the petitioner no.1 has already paid her the total settlement amount of Rs.1,00,000/- as the full and final settlement of all her present, past and future claims, and as such, she 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 IO. 5.

Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the parties 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.

6.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No. 492/2022 dated 28.07.2022 registered at PS.: Jagat Puri, Delhi under Sections 323/354/354(B)/451/504/506/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

7.

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