Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The Delhi High Court quashed an FIR registered for offences under Sections 323, 341, 506, and 34 IPC after the petitioners and the complainants (respondents 2 and 3) entered into a settlement deed. The State and the complainants had no objection to the quashing. The court relied on Supreme Court precedents holding that continuation of criminal proceedings would be futile when parties have genuinely settled their disputes.

What did the court decide?

FIR No. 130/2022 dated 23.01.2022 registered at PS Seelampur, Delhi under Sections 323/341/506/34 IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

Issue notice.

¶14

Learned APP accepts notice and submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶15

Learned counsel for the respondent nos.2 and 3 also accepts notice and submits that the respondent nos.2 and 3 have no objection if the present petition is allowed.

¶16

This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioners as well as the respondent nos.2 and 3, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Settlement Deed dated 09.04.2026, whereby the parties have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes. Respondent nos.2 and 3 hence submit that they do not wish to continue with the aforesaid FIR against the petitioners.

¶17

The petitioners and the respondent nos.2 and 3, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been duly identified by the IO. 7. As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioners and the respondent nos.2 and 3 is the basis of filing the present petition, which is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect. In view thereof, the present is a fit case for quashing the aforesaid FIR. Accordingly, 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 , and also since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the present FIR will be an exercise in futility.

¶18

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.130/2022
