0008/2015 dated 06.01.2015 registered under sections 120B/420/467/468/471 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC') at P.S.: Tilak Marg, New Delhi. 5.
The petition is premised on Mutual Settlement Agreement dated 29.09.2025, whereby the petitioners and respondent No. 2 have resolved the matter amicably.
6.
The petition is also supported by affidavits of the petitioners and of respondent No. 2, alongwith proof of their IDs. 7.

Their credentials have been verified and they have also been identified by their respective counsel.

This is recorded in clause 2.1 of the settlement agreement. 9.

10.
Mr. Shoaib Haider, learned APP confirms that the State has no objection to the subject FIR being quashed.
11.
In the circumstances, in line with the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2012) 10 SCC 303 as also in Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2014) 6 SCC 466, this court sees no reason why the subject FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom should not be quashed. This court is of the view that in light of the settlement between the contesting parties, continuing with the subject FIR and all subsequent proceedings would be an exercise in futility and would not be conducive to peace and harmony between the parties. 12.
Accordingly, case FIR No. 0008/2015 dated 06.01.2015 registered under sections 120B/420/467/468/471 IPC at P.S.: Tilak Marg, New Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed. 13.
All the parties shall remain bound by the terms of Mutual Settlement Agreement dated 29.09.2025.

Petition stands disposed-of.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed-of. ANUP JAIRAM BHAMBHANI, J JANUARY 16, 2026 V.Rawat The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
