1. This is a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of FIR No. 244 of 2014 dated 19.06.2014 (Annexure P-1) registered under Sections 419/420/467/468/471/384 of IPC, PS Udyog Vihar, District Gurugram and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom on the basis of compromise (Annexure P-3) dated 05.02.2025 between the parties.

2. The present case arises out of Complaint No. 883Z dated 17.04.2014 lodged by Lalit Gupta, Managing Director of Spectra Televentures Private Ltd., 617, Udyog Vihar, Phase V, Gurgaon alleging that he, his wife Bindu Gupta and employee Vineet Jain received forged notices purportedly issued under Section 160 Cr.P.C. by one “C.K. Sharma, SI Crime Branch, Delhi” in connection with a criminal complaint registered at Police Station Urla, Raipur. The notices alleged cheating to the tune of Rs.38 lakhs and required their appearance before the alleged police official. The complainant asserted that neither did he know the Dina Thakur nor did his company have any business dealings within the jurisdiction of Police Station Urla, Raipur. Upon enquiry, he could not trace any such police official and suspected that some mischievous person was attempting to harass and extort money from him while tarnishing the reputation of his company. Suspicion was expressed against Yatish Kumar Goel, Advocate, who had earlier handled the legal work of the company and had made enquiries regarding Dina Thakur. During investigation, offences under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 384 IPC were found to be made out. The complainant joined investigation and produced the original notices, envelopes and exchanged emails, which were seized by the Investigating Agency. Verification from the Office of the Assistant Commissioner (HQ), Crime Branch, Delhi confirmed that no officer namely C.K. Sharma had served in the Crime Branch during the relevant period. Investigation further revealed that the courier consignments through DTDC and Blaze Flash Courier had been booked in January 2014 and the relevant records were seized. CDRs and CAF details of mobile numbers linked with accused Yatish Kumar Goel were obtained, along with his bank account opening documents. The accused joined investigation pursuant to interim bail orders and also produced certain emails during investigation. Specimen signatures and handwriting of the accused were obtained under orders of the Court and sent to FSL Madhuban for comparison. The investigation was subsequently transferred between different investigating officers. The Hon’ble High Court cancelled the bail of the accused for non-compliance with directions regarding specimen signatures, whereafter the Hon’ble Supreme Court directed him to furnish the same. After completion of investigation, the police concluded that sufficient evidence existed against the accused and accordingly prepared and forwarded the challan to the trial Court, while reserving liberty to place the FSL report on record upon receipt.

3. It is however averred that with the intervention of the respectables from both sides, the matter has now been settled and amicably resolved. It is further averred that the compromise amongst the parties was effected on account of free will and without any pressure and coercion. Hence, present petition.

4. Pursuant to the order dated 06.05.2025, 27.05.2025 and 28.07.2025, a report has been received from the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Gurugram vide Memo No. 571 dated 20.10.2025. The relevant extract of the report reads thus:-
