Having heard the learned counsel for petitioners, the learned A.G.A. for State-respondents, Mr. Ashish Srivastav, the learned counsel representing CRLP No. 20220 of 2025 2 first informant-respondent-4 and upon perusal of record, this Court finds that the dispute between the parties is a purely private dispute. As per the allegation made in the FIR, no criminality is alleged to have been committed against State. As such, the dispute between the parties is a purely private dispute. Moreover, during the pendency of present writ petition, the parties have amicably settled their dispute. The amount payable to first informant-respondent-4, in view of the agreement entered into by the company and respondent-4, stands paid to respondent-4. As such, no cause of action survives with respondent-4 to pursue the FIR.As such, no good ground exists to sustain the criminal prosecution of petitioners. The impugned FIR is thus liable to be quashed. 9. In view of above, we, accordingly, allow the present writ petitions. 10. The FIR dated 08.07.2025 lodged by first informant-respondent-4 and registered as Case Crime No. 0085 of 2025, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B, 34 IPC, Police Station-Expressway, District-Gautam Budh Nagar shall stand quashed. 11.
