Subsequently, Section 125(b) BNS (corresponding Section 338 IPC), 5/180 and 3/181 Motor Vehicle Act, 2019 have been added in the chargesheet. 3. The abovesaid FIR was registered on the basis of complaint lodged by respondent No. 2 Neeraj Ahuja who was riding a motor cycle on 08.03.2025 and was hit by a Kia vehicle being driven by the petitioner herein. As per the allegations, the applicant was driving at a fast speed and in rash or negligent manner and hit his motor cycle, which resulted in injuries to respondent No.2. Since he suffered fracture, the charge-sheet was, eventually, for causing grievous injuries. As per the charge-sheet, petitioner was not having any valid driving license at the time of commission of offence. CRL.M.C. 5885/2026 2 4. The quashing is being sought for the reason that the parties have amicably settled the matter. 5. Respondent No.2-Neeraj Ahuja is present in the Court and has been duly identified by his counsel and IO. 6. The settlement took place before Mediation Centre, Saket Court, Delhi on 24.04.2026. 7. As per the settlement terms, the petitioner herein has agreed to make payment of Rs. 90,000/- to injured Neeraj Ahuja as compensation and towards reimbursement of his medical expenses and out of agreed amount, a sum of Rs. 60,000/- has already been paid and balance amount of Rs. 30,000/- has been received today by Neeraj Ahuja in the shape of Demand Draft drawn on Punjab National Bank. Respondent No.2 states that he has ‘no objection’ to the quashing of the FIR in question. He submits that the settlement is voluntary and without any coercion and undue influence. 8. Copy of Settlement Agreement dated 24.04.2026 is also on record. 9. The petitioner, who is present in Court undertakes to be careful in future and submits that once this case is quashed, she would apply for a valid driving license. 10. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), it is deemed appropriate to quash the instant FIR. 11. Consequently, to secure the ends of justice FIR No. 116/2025 dated 13.03.2025, registered at Police Station Sunlight Colony, for commission of offences under Sections 281/125(a) BNS (corresponding Sections 279/337 CRL.M.C. 5885/2026 3 IPC), along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, quashed, subject to petitioner depositing total cost of Rs. 10,000/- with Delhi High Court Legal Services Authority within four weeks from today. Proof of deposit of cost along with original affidavits and MoU of the parties, copies of which have been placed on record in the present proceedings, shall be submitted before the learned Trial Court within further two weeks, so that these become part of Trial Court Record. 12. The petition stands disposed of in aforesaid terms. (MANOJ JAIN) JUDGE AUGUST 12, 2026/sw/sk
