The petition is premised on Mediated Settlement Agreement dated 05.12.2025 arrived at before the Mediation Centre, Saket Courts, New Delhi.

¶17

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

¶18

The petitioners as well as respondent No. 2 are present in court. Their credentials have been verified and they have also been identified by their respective counsel.

¶19

The parties have confirmed that one child, viz. Kartik , was born from the wedlock, who is minor as of date.

¶20

The parties are stated to have resolved all their disputes amicably and in view of the settlement agreement, respondent No.2 has re-joined the company of petitioner No. 1 on 14.11.2025 and they have been living together alongwith their only son.

¶21

Ms. Kiran Bairwa, learned APP confirms that the State has no objection to the subject FIR being quashed.

¶22

In the circumstances, in line with the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2012) 10 SCC 303 as also in Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2014) 6 SCC 466, this court sees no reason why the subject FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom should not be quashed. This court is of the view that 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.
