By way of the present petition, petitioners seek quashing of the FIR bearing no. 111/2024, registered at Police Station Pulprahladpur, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 354/354A/354D/509 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter ‘IPC') and all proceedings arising therefrom.

4. Issue notice. The learned APP accepts notice on behalf of the State.

5. The petitioners and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO)

concerned from Police Station Pulprahlad Pur, Delhi.

6. Brief facts of the present case are that due to a misunderstanding between the petitioners and respondent no. 2, respondent no. 2 had filed a complaint against the petitioners, culminated into the present FIR under the relevant sections. After investigation, the chargesheet was filed before the concerned Court. It is stated that during pendency of the trial, with the intervention of friends and relatives, both the parties have amicably settled their disputes before Mediation Centre, Saket Courts, New Delhi vide Mediation Settlement dated 17.05.2025.

7. On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2, who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. She further stated that she has received remaining amount of Rs.50,000/-, vide Demand Draft bearing no. 707411 dated 12.12.2025 drawn on Canara Bank, as per settlement. Therefore, she has no objection, if the present FIR is quashed.

8. In view of the above, that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, and without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

9. Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 111/2024, registered at Police Station Pulprahlad pur, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 354/354A/354D/509 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
