6.
Brief facts of the case are that the present FIR came to be registered in relation to a property dispute. Learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that the dispute between the Petitioners and Respondent No. 2 has been amicably settled vide Settlement Deed-cum-Memorandum of Understanding dated
22.09.2026.
7. On a query made by this Court, Respondent No. 2, who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that he has entered into compromise, vide Settlement Deed-cum-Memorandum of Understanding dated 22.09.2026, out of his own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, he has no objection if the present FIR is 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. 300/2026, registered at Police Station Palam Village, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 318(4)/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita of BNS and 420/34 of IPC, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed.
