(IO) from Police Station Keshav Puram, Delhi. 4.
Brief facts of the present case are that on 31.05.2016, on the complaint of respondent no. 2, the present FIR was registered at the concerned Police Station against the petitioners. During pendency of the case, both the parties had amicably settled their disputes vide Settlement Deed/Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 20.08.2025. 5.
On a query made by this Court, respondent nos.2 to 4, who have been identified by the 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 by respondent nos.2 to 4 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between them vide the aforesaid MOU. Respondent nos. 2 to 4 further state they have no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 6.
In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, and without any coercion, 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 FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 7.
Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 399/2016, registered at Police Station Keshav Puram, Delhi for commission of offence punishable under Sections 419/420/469/471/34 of IPC and Section 66D of the IT Act and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to the costs of Rs.15,000/- each on both the petitioners, to be deposited with Delhi Advocates' Welfare Fund, Rohini Court Bar Association, within seven days from date.
