JUSTICE SAURABH BANERJEE O R D E R % 11.05.2026 1.

Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid MOU and submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 4. The petitioner and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer. 5. Facts disclose that a settlement has already been arrived voluntarily between the petitioner and the respondent no.2 and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) to that effect. In view thereof, the parties shall remain bound by all the terms and conditions of the settlement arrived inter se themselves. As such, 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, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner will be an exercise in futility. 6. Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.604/2025 dated 21.12.2025 registered at PS: Jagat Puri, Delhi under Sections 115(2)/126(2)/351(2)/352/324(4)/3(5) of the BNS and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 7. As such, the present petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. SAURABH BANERJEE, J MAY 11, 2026/bh This is a digitally signed order.
