¶19

The petition is premised on Settlement Deed dated 06.04.2026, whereby the petitioners and respondent No. 2 have resolved the matter amicably.

¶20

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

¶21

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

¶22

The court has interacted with the respondent No.2, as also with petitioner, who have confirmed that they have now resolved the matter and Settlement Deed dated 06.04.2026 has been signed by them closing all issues amicably. Parties now wish to live in peace and harmony going forward.

¶23

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

¶24

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.

¶25

While allowing the petition however, this court considers it appropriate, that by way of atonement, the petitioners shall pay costs
