% 27.03.2026 1.

By way of present petition, the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR bearing no. 259/2024, registered at Police Station Maidan Garhi, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 356/379/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter 'IPC').

The petitioner and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsels and concerned Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Maidan Garhi, Delhi. 3.

Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that on 04.05.2024, the petitioner was attacked by the accused persons, who had snatched the mobile phone of the petitioner. Based on the aforesaid event, the present FIR was registered on 05.05.2024 against the petitioner and his co-accused under The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

the relevant sections. It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter vide Compromise Deed dated 29.05.2024 entered between them. It is further stated that the co-accused in this case has already been discharged by the learned Trial Court.

4.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that he has entered into compromise out of his 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 and the mobile phone of respondent no.2 has been handed over to him. Respondent no. 2 further states that he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 5.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, without any coercion, 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. 6.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 259/2024, registered at Police Station Maidan Garhi, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 356/379/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

7.

In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of. 8.
