% 22.12.2025 1.

The instant petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter "BNSS") [earlier Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter "CrPC")] has been filed by the petitioners praying for quashing of FIR No.423/2021 registered at Police Station - Tilak Nagar for the offences punishable under Sections 354/354(B)/323/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter "IPC"). 2.

The brief facts of the case are that on 28.08.2020 at around 10:23 PM, respondent no.2 heard loud noise from the stairs of the first floor of her building. When she reached there, she found that the petitioners were kicking and punching her husband. Respondent no.2 requested the The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

petitioners to stop but they started beating her instead. The petitioners even tore her clothes and touched her inappropriately. She was also attacked by a needle below her eye. The petitioners took away her gold earrings. Hence the present FIR.

3.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that 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. 4.

Compromise deed dated 15.11.2025 is on record and has been annexed as Annexure-C. Qua this deed, the respondent no.2 has agreed to withdraw the case arising out of FIR No.423/2021 registered at Police Station - Tilak Nagar against the petitioners. 5.

It is prayed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties that the instant FIR may be quashed on the basis of the compromise. 6.

Learned APP for the State, who appears on advance notice, accepts notice and submits that there is no opposition to the prayer made by the petitioners seeking quashing of the FIR in question in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties.

7.

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 - Tilak Nagar. Respondent no.2 is also present in the Court and has been identified by her counsel and the Investigating Officer.

9.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise on her own free will and without any pressure. It is also stated by her that the entire dispute has been amicably The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

settled between the parties. She further submits that she is looking ahead and taking steps to rebuild and move on with her life. 10.

Keeping in view the fact that the matter stands 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 have arrived at a settlement, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.

12.

It is, thus, in the interest of justice to quash the afore-mentioned FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom.

13.

In the present case, the State machinery has been put into motion and the police has concluded the investigation and has filed the chargesheet and further, judicial time has also been wasted.

14.

It is deemed appropriate to impose costs on the petitioners. In the facts and circumstances of the present case, the petitioners are directed to deposit a cost of ₹25,000/- with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within a period of two weeks from today. 15.

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. 423/2021 registered at Police Station - Tilak Nagar for the offences punishable under Sections 354/354(B)/323/509/34 of the IPC, and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed qua the present petitioners, subject to payment of cost of ₹25,000/-, which shall be deposited with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within a period of two weeks from today. 16.

The receipt of payment is to be deposited and verified by the concerned IO.
