¶5Issue notice.

¶6Learned APP accepts notice and submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶7Learned counsel for the respondent nos.2 and 3 also accept notice and submit that the respondent nos.2 and 3 have no objection if the present petition is allowed.

¶8This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioners as well as the respondent nos.2 and 3, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding dated 04.08.2026, whereby out of total settlement amount of Rs.4,00,000/-, the petitioners have already paid them the settlement amount of Rs.2,00,000/- and the remaining sum of Rs.2,00,000/- has been paid to them by way of a Cheque being cheque No.077070 dated

24.08.2026 drawn on ICICI Bank as full and final settlement of all their present, past and future claims and as such, the parties have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes.

The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

¶9The petitioners and the respondent nos.2 and 3, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been duly identified by the IO.

¶10As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioners and the respondent nos.2 and 3 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, 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.

¶11Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.36/2026 dated 31.01.2026 registered at PS: Prashant Vihar, Delhi under Sections 420/34 of the IPC [Sections 290/125(1)/3(5) of the BNS] and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

¶12As such, the present petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
