concerned Court. During pendency of the case, both the parties had amicably settled their disputes vide Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 17.11.2025.

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 his own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Respondent no. 2 further states he has 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. 941/2015, registered at Police Station Alipur, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 308/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to each petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.10,000/- with the Delhi High Court Employees' Welfare Fund and the compliance report of the same be filed with the Registry of this Court within a period of two weeks from date.
