Outcome

FIR No.340/2022 dated 22.04.2022 (sections 323/341/506 IPC, P.S.: Jyoti Nagar, Delhi) quashed on consent; all proceedings arising therefrom closed; petition and pending applications disposed of.

Issue for consideration

Whether FIR No.340/2022 dated 22.04.2022 registered under sections 323/341/506 IPC at P.S.: Jyoti Nagar and all proceedings arising therefrom should be quashed in light of the mediated settlement between the petitioner and respondent No.2.

Court's answer

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; hence the court saw no reason not to quash the FIR, acting in line with the law laid down in Gian Singh (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh (2014) 6 SCC 466.

Ratio / Principle

FIR No.340/2022 dated 22.04.2022 registered under sections 323/341/506 of the IPC at P.S.: Jyoti Nagar, Delhi is quashed and all proceedings arising therefrom stand closed.

The petition is also supported by affidavits of the petitioner and of respondent No. 2, alongwith proof of their IDs.

The contesting parties are present in court. Their credentials have been verified and they have also been identified by their respective counsel.

The court has interacted with the respondent No.2 as also with petitioner, who have confirmed that they have now resolved the matter and a mediated Settlement / Agreement dated 20.11.2023 has been signed by them closing all issues amicably. Parties now wish to live in peace and harmony going forward.

Mr. Anand V. Khatri, learned ASC (Criminal) confirms that the State has no objection to the subject FIR being quashed.
