the terms of the aforesaid Compromise-cum-Settlement Deed dated 05.04.2019, and submits that the he has already received the entire settlement amount as per the terms of the Compromise-cum-Settlement Deed as full and final settlement of all his present, past and future claims etc., and as such, he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 4.

The petitioner and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the IO. 5.

Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the petitioner and the respondent no.2 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) to that effect. In view thereof, the parties shall remain bound by all the terms and conditions of the settlement arrived inter se themselves. As such, following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2014) 6 SCC 466, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner will be an exercise in futility. 6.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.191/2014 dated 16.12.2014 registered at PS: Barakhamba Road, Delhi under Sections 419/420/468/471 IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

7.

As such, the present petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
