ORDER :
1. The present petition has been filed seeking quashing of FIR No. 310/2023 dated 13th August, 2023, registered at Police Station Badarpur for the offences under Sections 288/304A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 [“IPC”] as well as all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom. The instant FIR was registered pursuant to the demise of Late Sh. Pappu Lal Kashyap, who had been employed by the Petitioners as a daily wage labourer for certain construction work. Allegedly, on account of the Petitioners’ failure to provide the requisite safety equipment, the deceased fell from the fifth floor of the construction building, ultimately resulting in his death on 13th August, 2023. This incident led to the registration of the impugned FIR against the Petitioners. Respondent No. 2 is the wife of the deceased, while Respondent Nos. 3-8 are his daughters.
2. The request for quashing of the FIR is made in light of the amicable settlement reached between the parties, as evidenced by Deed of Compromise/ Settlement executed on 23rd September, 2023, between the Petitioners and Respondent No. 2. A copy of the aforementioned Settlement Agreement has been duly placed on record.
