Learned APP for the State has handed over a copy of the status report which is taken on record.

¶17

Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid Mediated Settlement dated 08.04.2026 and he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶18

The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the IO. 6. Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the petitioners and the respondent no.2 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s). In view thereof, the parties shall remain bound by all the terms and conditions of the settlement arrived inter se themselves. As such, following the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58 , Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2014) 6 SCC 466 , since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner will be an exercise in futility.

¶19

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.22/2008 dated 16.01.2008 registered at PS: Patel Nagar, Delhi under Sections 420/467/468/471/447/451/380/403/506/120B IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 8.
