respondent no. 2 wherein respondent no. 2 had been beaten by the petitioners herein. Thereafter, upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Settlement Agreement dated 12.09.2025. 5.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that he has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated that she has already received the compensation amount as per the said Settlement Agreement. Therefore, he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.

6.

In view of the above, 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. 185/2024, registered at Police Station Jama Masjid, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 324/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

8.

The petition stands disposed of.
