By way of the present petitions, the parties are seeking quashing of cross FIRs bearing no. 66/2019 and 67/2019, both dated 17.02.2019, registered at Police Station Sarita Vihar, Delhi for the offences punishable under Sections 323/308/325/341/354-B/509/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter 'IPC').

4.

The parties have appeared before this Court in person. They have been identified by their respective counsels and concerned Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Sarita Vihar, Delhi. It is stated that the complainant in FIR No. 67/2019 has unfortunately passed away. However, appropriate affidavits have been filed by his daughter and son namely Kavita and Dinesh Kumar, who are the legal heirs of the deceased and have stated that they are the only legal heirs of the deceased and have voluntarily entered into a settlement between themselves and the petitioners. 5.

Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that on 15.02.2019, a scuffle had taken place between the parties and a complaint dated 17.02.2019 in this regard had been filed to SHO Police Station Sarita Vihar and the cross FIRs were registered against the petitioners under the relevant sections.

matter vide Memorandum of Understanding, dated 22.04.2025, entered between them.

7.

On a query made by this Court, the complainants in both the FIRs, who have been identified by the concerned IO, have categorically stated that they have entered into compromise out of their own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties. They further state that they have no objection if both these FIRs are quashed.

8.

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 FIRs and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIRs in question. 9.

Accordingly, FIRs bearing no. 66/2019 and 67/2019, both dated 17.02.2019, registered at Police Station Sarita Vihar, Delhi for the offences punishable under Sections 323/308/325/341/354-B/509/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 10.

In view of the above, the petitions stand disposed of. 11.
