Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the petitioners and respondent no. 2 have now 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, respondent no. 2 has agreed to withdraw the case arising out of FIR No. 493/2022 registered at Police Station - Bawana against the petitioners.

The petitioners are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer, Police Station Bawana. Respondent no. 2 is also present in the Court and has been identified by his counsel and the Investigating Officer.

In view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a settlement, 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. 493/2022, 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.
