Issue for consideration

Whether FIR No. 0258/2018 registered under Sections 500/504/506/509/354(D) IPC at P.S. Patel Nagar and the proceedings emanating therefrom ought to be quashed in terms of the Compromise Deed dated 20.05.2025 between the Petitioner and the Complainant.

Since the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will and without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served in continuing with the proceedings, which would only create further acrimony between them.

High Court of Delhi (Neena Bansal Krishna, J.), by order dated 15.07.2025 in CRL.M.C. 4594/2025, allowed a petition under Section 528 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 / Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking quashing of FIR No. 0258/2018 registered under Sections 500/504/506/509/354(D) IPC at P.S. Patel Nagar and the proceedings emanating therefrom. The Petitioner and the Complainant, who had allegedly fallen out after a friendship upon revelation of the Petitioner's marriage, appeared in person, were identified by their counsel and the Investigating Officer, and endorsed an amicable Compromise Deed dated 20.05.2025, accepting its terms voluntarily and undertaking to remain bound thereby; a NOC/affidavit of Respondent No. 2 dated 06.05.2025 was on record. Holding that the parties had resolved their differences out of their own free will and without coercion, and that continuance would serve no useful purpose and would only create further acrimony, the Court held it to be in the interest of justice to quash the FIR and proceedings pursuant thereto, and disposed of the petition alongwith the pending application.
