By virtue of the present petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.0398/2022 dated 12.06.2022 registered at PS: Vivek Vihar, Delhi under Sections 308/341/435/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ( IPC ) as also all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of Settlement Deed dated 02.05.2026 [ Annexure P3 ] arrived between the petitioners and the respondent no.2, which is accompanied by their respective proofs of identity.

¶18

Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid Settlement Deed, and as such, submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶19

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) to that effect. 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 petitioners will be an exercise in futility.

¶20

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed FIR No.0398/2022 dated 12.06.2022 registered at PS: Vivek Vihar, Delhi under Sections 308/341/435/34 IPC as also all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

¶21

The present petition, along with the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
