The petitioner and complainant/respondents are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer. 6. Brief facts of the case is that the present FIR was registered on account of a neighbourhood dispute between the petitioners and Respondents. Subsequently, with the intervention of family members and elders, the parties amicably resolved all their disputes and executed a Memorandum of Understanding dated 18.07.2025. Pursuant to the settlement, both parties agreed to live peacefully and not pursue the criminal proceedings any further. 7. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is nothing pending between the parties and that they have amicably settled all their disputes. Learned APP for the State opposes the present petition. 8. On a query made by this Court, Respondents, who have been duly identified by the IO, categorically state that they have entered into the settlement out of their own free will, without any force, coercion or undue influence. 9. 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. 10. Accordingly, FIR No. 204/2016, registered at Police Station Parliament Street, New Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 323/354/451/506/34 of the IPC, 1860, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed 11.
