1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.
2. By the way of the present petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BNSS’), the petitioner is seeking quashing of FIR No. 326/2026, registered at Police Station Aman Vihar, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2)/126(2)/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as ‘BNS’), and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom on the basis of the settlement arrived at between the parties.
3. Issue notice. The learned APP accepts notice on behalf of the State.
4. The petitioners and respondents no. 2 are present before this Court. Respondent no.2 has been duly identified by his counsel and the Investigating Officer concerned.
5. Brief facts of the case are that both the petitioners and Respondent No. 2 are family friends and due to some misunderstanding, the said FIR was lodged.
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 compromise, vide Settlement Agreement dated 09.092026, 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, 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 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. 326/2026, registered at Police Station Aman Vihar, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2)/126(2)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed.
9. The present petition is disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, also stand(s) disposed of.
10. Copy of the order be communicated to the concerned Trial Court for necessary action and compliance.
11. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. MADHU JAIN, J SEPTEMBER 22, 2026/b/rm
