1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.
2. By way of the present petition filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BNSS’), the petitioner is seeking quashing of FIR No. 841/2018, registered at Police Station Mehrauli, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 454 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘IPC’), and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom.
3. Issue Notice. The learned APP accepts notice on behalf of the State.
4. The Petitioner and Respondent No. 2 are present before this Court. Respondent No. 2 is identified by his counsel as well as the concerned Investigating Officer (‘IO’).
5. Briefly, the present FIR arose out of disputes between the Petitioner and Respondent No. 2 concerning the tenanted premises. During the pendency of the disputes, the parties arrived at a Settlement Agreement dated 10.07.2019 before the Mediation Centre, Saket Courts, New Delhi, whereby they resolved their disputes. The Settlement Agreement also records that Respondent No. 2 shall cooperate in the quashing of the present FIR.
6. 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 the compromise, vide Settlement Agreement dated 10.07.2019, out of his own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, he has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.
7. In view of the above, considering 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 the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.
8. Accordingly, FIR No. 841/2018, registered at Police Station Mehrauli, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 454 and 380 of the IPC, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed.
9. The present petition is disposed of. The pending application also stands disposed of.
10. A copy of this order be communicated to the learned Trial Court for necessary information and compliance.
11. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. MADHU JAIN, J SEPTEMBER 25, 2026/b/prg/m
