Briefly stated, the facts of the present case are that on 30.01.2025 at around 6:00 PM, the petitioner was passing through Chhatarpur Mandi, Delhi and respondent no. 2 i.e. the pedestrian had been crossing the road without waiting for light signal, all of a sudden, despite taking due care, both the petitioner and respondent no.2 had met with an accident. It is stated that the petitioner had taken respondent no. 2 to the hospital, who after treatment had been discharged on 01.02.2025. It is stated that an FIR was got registered against the petitioner. During investigation, Section 3/181 of M.V. Act was added subsequently. Thereafter, both the parties had realized their fault and arrived at a compromise before the Delhi Government Mediation & Conciliation Centre on 06.02.2025.

7.

It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled their disputes and the petitioner had tendered his apology. Statements of both the parties to the said effect have been recorded by the learned Joint Registrar (Judicial) on 19.05.2025.

8.

This Court notes that the concerned Joint Registrar has recorded the statement of the complainant/respondent no. 2 wherein he has given his statement that he has settled the matter amicably and that he has received the entire compensation amount of Rs.1,00,000/- from the petitioner. 9.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.
