Briefly stated, the present FIR came to be registered after the vehicle allegedly being driven by the petitioner collided with the boundary wall of the Kiwanis Club, resulting in damage to the property, pursuant to which the present FIR under Sections 279/427 IPC was registered. During the pendency of the proceedings, the parties amicably resolved all their disputes and executed a Settlement Agreement dated 17.10.2024. It is submitted that all the terms and conditions of the settlement have been duly complied with and Respondent No. 2 no longer wishes to pursue the present proceedings against the petitioner. 7. On a query put by this Court, Respondent No. 2, appearing through video conferencing and duly identified by the IO, categorically states that he has entered into the settlement of his own free will, without any force, coercion or undue influence, and has no objection if the present FIR and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are 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 No. 049/2022, registered at Police Station Kishangarh, New Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 279/427 of the IPC, 1860, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed.
