1. Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.

2. Application stands disposed of.

CRL.M.C. 1164/2026

3. By way of the present petition, the petitioner seeks quashing of the FIR bearing No. 722/2021, registered at Police Station Jyoti Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 506/354A/509/341 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter ‘IPC') and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom on the basis of settlement arrived at between the parties.

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

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

concerned, Police Station, Jyoti Nagar, Delhi.

6. Brief facts of the case are that on 25.12.2021 due to some misunderstanding between the petitioner and respondent no. 2, various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no. 2. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute orally between themselves.

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. 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. 722/2021, registered at Police Station Jyoti Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 506/354A/509/341 of IPC are quashed subject to the petitioner depositing a sum of Rs. 10,000/- with the Delhi High Court Employees’ Welfare Fund within a period of two weeks from date and the compliance report of the same be filed with the Registry of this Court.

10. The petition stands disposed of.

11. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith.
