Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that on 17.09.2024, a quarrel had taken place between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 due to some misunderstanding. Thereafter, respondent no. 2 had got the present FIR registered against the petitioners on 18.09.2024. It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter vide Compromise Deed dated 25.04.2025. The statements of the parties to the said effect have been recorded by the learned Joint Registrar (Judicial) on 21.05.2025. 6.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated by respondent no. 2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties. Respondent no. 2 further states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 7.

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. 8.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 412/2024, registered at Police Station Kanjhawala, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 115(2)/79/3(5) of BNS, and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed, subject to each petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.5,000/- with the Advocates Welfare Fund, Rohini Court within a period of one week from date.
