Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that charges have been framed and the chargesheet has already been filed against the petitioners. It is submitted that the petitioners and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably and are now moving forward towards a peaceful and harmonious future.

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 8.
The petitioners are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer, Police Station - Sonia Vihar. Respondent no. 2 is also present in the Court and has been identified by her counsel and the Investigating Officer.

The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
10.
Keeping in view the fact that the matter stands amicably been settled between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 amicably without any pressure, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending. 11.
In view of the fact that the parties are a family and they have arrived at a settlement and further having regard to the fact that the injury suffered by the respondent no.2 is simple in nature, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. Further in view of the fact that the parties have arrived at settlement, the chances of ultimate conviction of the accused persons are also bleak.
12.
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 vs. State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303, FIR No.323/2020 registered at Police Station - Sonia Vihar, for offences punishable under Sections 354(A)/354(B)/323/506/34 of the IPC, and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed.
14.
The petition along with pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of.
