1. By virtue of the present petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.306/2021 dated 07.10.2021 registered at PS: Delhi Cantt under Sections 341/34/354(B)/323/509/379/411 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of the Settlement Deed dated 02.07.2026, whereby the petitioners and the respondent no.2 have mutually resolved their disputes.

3. Learned APP accepts notice and submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.
4.
Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 also accepts notice and submits that the respondent no.2 has 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 no.2. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Settlement Deed dated 02.07.2026, whereby the parties have already resolved their inter se disputes and put a quietus to the lis inter se them. Respondent no.2 hence submits that she does not wish to continue the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner.
6. The petitioners and the respondent no.2 as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the concerned IO.
7. As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioners and the respondent no.2 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. Therefore, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.306/2021 dated 07.10.2021 registered at PS: Delhi Cantt under Sections 341/34/ This is a digitally signed order.

354(B)/323/509/379/411 of IPC as also all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
9. Accordingly, the present petition, alongwith the pending application is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
