notice.

The petitioner nos. 1-3, as well as, respondent no.2/complainant are present in Court, and they have been identified by their respective counsels as well as by the Investigating Officer, SI Sachin Panwar PS Fatehpur Beri. It is stated that petitioner no.1/accused is wife of respondent no.2. 6.
On account of some misunderstanding, the FIR came to be registered at the instance of respondent no.2 against the petitioner no.1, as well as, petitioner nos.2 and 3.
7.
During pendency of the proceedings, the parties have amicably resolved their disputes and arrived at a settlement, the terms whereof have been reduced in writing in the settlement agreement, which is annexed as Annexure-P-5 to the present petition.
8.
On a query posed by the Court, respondent no.2 states that he has settled the matter with the petitioners and does not wish to prosecute the criminal proceedings any further and he has no objection in case the FIR in question is quashed.

At this stage, apt would it be to refer to the observations of the Supreme Court in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303: (SCC p. 340, para 58) "58. Where the High Court quashes a criminal proceeding having regard to the fact that the dispute between the offender and the victim has been settled although the offences are not compoundable, it does so as in its opinion, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor."

conviction in the case are bleak, therefore, continuation of criminal proceedings will not serve any useful purpose and it will be an exercise in futility.
11.
It is, thus, in the interest of justice that the present FIR and all the other proceedings emanating therefrom be quashed. 12.
Consequently, the petition is allowed and the FIR No. 405/2025 under Sections 304(2)/3(5) BNS registered at PS Fatehpur Beri, South District, New Delhi alongwith all other proceedings emanating therefrom, is quashed. 13.
