HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA

O R D E R

% 15.09.2025 1.

Petitioner herein seeks compromise quashing of an FIR No. 1223/2020 dated 22.12.2020 registered at Police Station Bindapur, under Sections 323, 354 of IPC, as well as the consequential proceedings arising there from. It is stated that all disputes between the parties have been amicably resolved and continuation of the further proceedings would serve no useful purpose.

2.

As per the allegations set out in the FIR, the complainant/ Respondent No.2, submitted a written complaint against the petitioner/accused Rahul alleging verbal abuse, inappropriate touch and hand fight with her sister. Upon protest by the sister, a scuffle is said to have ensued between them. 3.

Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that with the support of their families, relatives and nearby residents, private parties have amicably resolved all disputes and grievances amongst themselves.

before this Court to the effect that they have no objection to the quashing of the said FIR.

4.

Learned APP for the State, on instructions concur with the factum of compromise and the same has been duly verified, he informs. 5.

Learned counsel for the complainant/Respondent No. 2 submits that Respondent no. 2 has voluntarily and unequivocally agreed to the quashing of the said FIR and affidavit dated 29.04.2025 to this regard has been appended with the petition.

6.

Learned counsels for the parties thus jointly contend that continuation of the criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose and would cause undue hardship to all parties and their families. Therefore, in view of the amicable settlement and in the interest of justice, the FIR and all consequential proceedings be quashed.

7.

In the aforesaid backdrop, I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and respondents as well perused the material available on record. 8.

Having heard, it appears that the disputes between the parties arose out of personal discord due to some misunderstanding of perceptions. Same has now been amicably resolved. From the record, it appears that the complainant/victim has no objection to the quashing of FIR in question and has consented voluntary and not induced by any coercion or undue influence.

9.

Therefore, allowing the proceedings to continue would unnecessarily burden the judicial system and amount to an abuse of the process of law. Continuing the prosecution despite the complainant's stand would serve no constructive purpose and may instead lead to unnecessary hardship to the parties to settlement. Allowing the matter to linger would only rekindle CRL.M.C. 3340/2025 Page 2 of 3 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

tensions and hinder the process of healing between the parties. 10.

As the matter does not involve any serious or heinous offence and continuation of the criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, particularly when the parties have resolved their differences and wish to move on with their lives, this Court finds it appropriate to exercise its inherent jurisdiction under Section 528 of BNSS to secure the ends of justice. In this context, reference may be had to guidelines laid down in Supreme Court judgment rendered in Gian Singh v/s State 2012 (10) SCC 303.

11.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed. FIR No. 1223/2020 dated 22.12.2020 registered at Police Station Bindapur, under Sections 323, 354 of IPC, along with all consequential proceedings arising there from, including those pending before the Court is hereby quashed qua the victim(Respondent no. 2) present before this Court. The proceedings shall continue in accordance with law with respect to the victim not present before this Court.

12.

Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. ARUN MONGA, J SEPTEMBER 15, 2025/nk/rs CRL.M.C. 3340/2025 Page 3 of 3 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
