1. By virtue of the present petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.418/2016 dated 13.08.2016 registered at PS.: Seelampur, Delhi under Sections 323/325/452/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code,1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom as the petitioners and the respondent nos.2 to 4 have mutually settled all their disputes vide Compromise Deed dated 03.06.2026.
2.

that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.
4.
Learned counsel for the respondent nos.2 to 4 also accepts notice and submits that the respondent nos.2 to 4 have no objection if the present petition is allowed.
5. This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioners as well as the respondent nos.2 to 4, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Compromise Deed dated 03.06.2026, wherein the parties have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes. Respondent nos.2 to 4 hence submit that they do not wish to continue with the aforesaid FIR against the petitioners.
6. The petitioners and the respondent nos.2 to 4, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been duly identified by the IO.
7. As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioners and the respondent nos.2 to 4 is the basis of filing the present petition, which is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect. In view thereof, the present is a fit case for quashing the aforesaid FIR. Accordingly, as also following the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2014) 6 SCC 466, and also since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the present FIR will be an exercise in futility.
8. Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.418/2016 dated 13.08.2016 registered at PS.: Seelampur, Delhi under Sections 323/325/452/506/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom This is a digitally signed order.

are hereby quashed.
9. As such, the present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
