Since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties, the aforesaid petition has been filed seeking quashing of aforesaid FIR. 4. Learned Standing Counsel for the State appears on advance and submits that as per investigating officer, who is present in Court, no one received grievous injuries in the aforesaid collision and charge-sheet has already been prepared and submitted before the concerned Trial Court. He, however, submits that cognizance is yet to be taken. 5. Respondent Nos. 2 & 3 are present in Court and submit that matter has been amicably settled as per terms recorded in Mutual Agreement attested on 19.02.2026. As per such settlement, petitioner has agreed to make payment of Rs. 20,000/- each to respondent nos. 2 & 3 and also a sum of Rs. 5,000/- to respondent no. 4. Aforesaid amount of Rs. 20,000/- each has been given to respondent nos. 2 & 3 during the course of proceedings which they have accepted. They submit that they have entered into compromise of their own and without any coercion, force or pressure from any corner whatsoever and their such settlement is voluntary in nature and they would have no objection if the FIR in question is quashed. Similar stand has been taken by respondent no. 4 who has joined the proceedings through videoconferencing. He also submits that he has received Rs. 5,000/- towards reimbursement of the medical expenditure incurred by him in the accident in question.
