Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Delhi High Court (Anup Jairam Bhambhani, J.) allowed a petition under section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 and quashed FIR No.0004/2021 dated 05.01.2021 registered under sections 354(A)/506/323/34 IPC at P.S.: Darya Ganj, Central Delhi. The quashing was premised on a Settlement Agreement dated 29.04.2025 between the petitioners and respondent No. 3, supported by affidavits; the contesting parties were present, identified and confirmed the settlement before the court, and the State (through the learned APP) raised no objection. Relying on Gian Singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh v. State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466, the court held that continuance of the FIR and subsequent proceedings after settlement would be an exercise in futility and not conducive to peace and harmony, and accordingly quashed the FIR and closed all proceedings arising therefrom.
