% 18.05.2026 1.

By virtue of the present petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C), the petitioners seek quashing of the FIR No.50/2010 dated 27.04.2010 registered at PS.: Bara Hindu Rao, Delhi under Sections 406/420/447/448/453/380/411/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of the Settlement Deed dated 07.05.2026 arrived between the petitioners and the respondent no.2, 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.

Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 20/05/2026 at 15:29:07

the terms of the aforesaid Settlement Deed dated 07.05.2026, whereby the petitioners have already paid him a total sum of Rs.2,50,000/- as full and final settlement of all his present, past and future claims, etc. He further submits that 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 IO. 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). 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 petitioners will be an exercise in futility. 6.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.50/2010 dated 27.04.2010 registered at PS.: Bara Hindu Rao, Delhi under Sections 406/420/447/448/453/380/411/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

7.

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