¶2Issue notice.

¶3Learned APP for the State accepts notice and submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶4Respondent no.2 also accepts notice and submits that he has no objection if the present petition is allowed.

¶5This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioners as well as the respondent no.2, who all are present in Court. This is a digitally signed order. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Settlement dated 12.05.2026, wherein it is recorded that the petitioners and the respondent no.2 have amicable settled all their disputes inter se themselves and they have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes. Respondent no.2 hence submits that he does not wish to continue with the aforesaid FIR against the petitioners.

¶6The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been duly identified by the IO.

¶7As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioners and the respondent no.2 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, as also 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.

¶8Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.42/2023 dated 23.01.2023 registered at PS.: New Ashok Nagar under Sections 308/506/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

¶9As such, the present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
