Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the petitioners and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably and are now moving forward towards a peaceful and harmonious future.

4.

MoU/Settlement Deed dated 13.05.2025 is on record and has been annexed as Annexure 2. Qua this deed, the respondent no. 2 has agreed to withdraw the case arising out of FIR No. 492/2022 registered at Police Station - Bawana against the petitioners.

It is, thus, prayed that the instant FIR may be quashed on the basis of the compromise.

6.

Learned APP for the State, who appears on advance notice, accepts notice and submits that there is no opposition to the prayer made by the petitioners seeking quashing of the FIR in question in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties.

10.

Keeping in view the fact that the matter stands settled between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 amicably without any pressure, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending. 11.

In view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a settlement and have moved towards a peaceful future, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.

12.

It is, thus, in the interest of justice, FIR No. 492/2022, registered at Police Station - Bawana on 07.07.2022, for the offences punishable under Sections 323/341/506/34 of the IPC and all the consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
