total settlement amount of Rs.1,00,000/-, the petitioners have already paid them a sum of Rs.50,000/- and, today petitioners have handed an amount of Rs.50,000/- in cash, as full and final settlement of all their present, past and future claims, etc.

5.

The petitioners and the respondent nos.2 and 3, 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 petitioners and the respondent nos.2 and 3 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) to that effect. In view thereof, the parties shall remain bound by 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.

7.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed FIR No.269/2021 dated 01.06.2021 registered at PS: Geeta Colony, Shahdara, Delhi under Sections 341/323/506/34 IPC as also all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

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