assaulted each other with sticks and bricks and several individuals sustained injuries, leading to the registration of the present FIR. 3.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the chargesheet has already been filed against the petitioners. It is submitted that the petitioners and respondents no. 2 to 6 have settled their disputes amicably and are now moving forward towards a peaceful and harmonious future.
4.
Settlement deed dated 02.08.2025 is on record and has been annexed as "Annexure C". Qua this deed, the respondents no. 2 to 6 have agreed to withdraw the case arising out of FIR No. 813/2021, registered at Police Station Nand Nagri against the petitioners.

It is prayed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties that the instant FIR may be quashed on the basis of the compromise. 6.

has been amicably settled between the parties, and that they now wish to put this incident behind them, move on, and focus on their future. 10.
Keeping in view the fact that the matter stands amicably settled between the petitioners and respondents no. 2 to 6 without any pressure, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending. 11.
In view of the fact that the parties are neighbours and they have arrived at a settlement and further having regard to the fact that the injury suffered by the respondents is simple in nature, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.

It is, thus, in the interest of justice to quash the afore-mentioned FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom.
13.
Hence, in light of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court passed in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303, FIR No. 813/2021, registered at Police Station Nand Nagri for the offences punishable under Sections 323/354(A)/354(D)/308/325/341/506/34 of the IPC, and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed qua the present petitioners.
