Though this Court is well-aware of the Sections/ Offences involved as also the assertions made in the present FIR, however, facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the petitioner and the respondent nos.2 to 7 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect. Thus, following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors.

vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2014) 6 SCC 466, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner will be an exercise in futility. 7.

Thus, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.758/2020 dated 15.07.2020 registered at PS.: Nihal Vihar under Sections 287/304A of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 8.
