¶13

The present petition has been filed on the ground that the parties have amicably settled the matter and entered into a compromise on 01.08.2024. The Complainant/Respondent No.2 has also filed an affidavit affirming the fact that the grievance of the Complainant against the Petitioner in the abovementioned FIR stands settled. It is also stated that the Complainant does not have any objection if the present FIR against the Petitioner is quashed as he has already settled the dispute with the Petitioner.

¶14

The Petitioner and the Complainant/Respondent No.2 are present in Court today. The parties have been identified by the Investigating Officer. The Complainant/Respondent No.2 states that he has received the entire amount of settlement and he has settled all the disputes with the Petitioner out of his own free will, without pressure, coercion or undue influence and states that he does not want to pursue the present case any further. He requests that the present FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom may be quashed. The parties undertake that they will remain bound by the terms of the settlement and the proceedings recorded before this Court.

¶15

Considering the fact that the parties have amicably settled the matter and the entire amount of settlement has been paid by the Petitioner and in view of the fact that the instant case is squarely covered by the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303 , this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in continuing with the present proceedings. Resultantly, FIR No.161/2024 dated 27.07.2024 registered at Police Station Vasant Kunj North for offences under Sections 281, 125(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and the proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
