Petitioner Nos. 1 and 4 are present in Court and their sons, petitioner Nos. 2 and 3 have joined the proceedings through video conferencing.

¶17

Though, earlier the abovesaid petition had been filed seeking quashing on the ground that no offence was made out, but, now, it has been apprised that the matter has been amicably settled and the settlement deed dated 12.11.2025 has also been placed on record.

¶18

The affidavit of complainant therein i.e. HC Raghubir Singh has also been filed wherein he has, categorically, deposed that he has settled all the disputes amicably and peacefully and has no objection if the criminal proceedings are quashed.

parties have specifically mentioned therein that the incident took place on account of misunderstanding and interpersonal dispute and that, with the intervention of mutual friends, well wishers and elders, they have amicably resolved all their differences and do not want to pursue their respective criminal complaints.

¶26

The charges have not yet been framed. 12. During course of proceedings, when query was put up to the respective complainants i.e. HC Raghubir Singh respondent No.2 in CRL.M.C. 7663/2023, Respondent Nos.2 and 3 in CRL.M.C. 128/2026, they all reiterated the terms of settlement deed and prayed that the FIRs in question may be quashed.

¶27

The Investigating Officer (I.O.) is present and confirms the broad facts and also identifies the complainants. The respective counsel also identify them. 14. In view of the settlement arrived between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, especially, when dispute does not involve any public interest.

¶28

Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 528 of the BNSS, it is deemed appropriate to quash the FIR instant. 16. Consequently, to secure the ends of justice, FIR Nos. 231/2023 and 124/2018 at P.S: Rani Bagh, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, are hereby, quashed.
