Deceased-Satya Narain was working as labourer and was repairing a tin-shed roof and during such repair, he fell down and, consequently, suffered fatal injuries. The MoU mentions that roof was being repaired by him on 12.06.2025, when it was extremely hot and that he fell down on account of some dizziness. Though, as per averments in the instant FIR, the worker had died as there were no safety measures at the site, but Renu Devi, widow of aforesaid worker submits that there is amicable settlement and, therefore, she does not want to proceed with the aforesaid case. The petitioner has agreed to give compensation of Rs. 4,50,000/- and such amount has been received by her today by way of Demand Draft dated 17.03.2026 drawn on Karnataka Bank Ltd., Dwarka, New Delhi.

Renu Devi as per ‘no objection’ given in this regard by her sons and daughters. 11. Charge-sheet has already been filed. 12. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose. 13.
