1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.
2. The present petition has been filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BNSS’), seeking quashing of FIR No. 77/2026, registered at Police Station Moti Nagar, Delhi, under Sections 376/354A/354 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘IPC’),, and all consequential proceedings arising 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 petitioner is present in person and is duly identified by learned counsel. Respondent No. 2 is also present in person and is duly identified by the Investigating Officer.
5. Briefly stated, the FIR came to be registered on the complaint of Respondent No. 2 alleging commission of offences under Sections 376/354A/354 IPC. During the pendency of the proceedings, the parties have amicably resolved all their disputes and have executed a Memorandum of Understanding dated 07.09.2026, whereby they have agreed to put a quietus to all pending disputes.
6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the settlement has been voluntarily arrived at between the parties and prays that the FIR and all proceedings arising therefrom be quashed.
7. On a query made by this Court, Respondent No. 2, who has been duly identified by the Investigating Officer, states that she had lodged the FIR in the heat of the moment. She further states that she has entered into the settlement of her own free will, without any force, coercion or undue influence, and now wishes to move on in her life. She has no objection if the present FIR and all consequential proceedings are quashed.
8. 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.
9. Accordingly, FIR No. 77/2026, registered at Police Station Moti Nagar, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 376/354A/354 of the
IPC along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed.
10. The present petition is disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, also stand(s) disposed of.
11. Copy of the order be sent to the learned Trial Court for necessary information and compliance.
12. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. MADHU JAIN, J SEPTEMBER 21, 2026/ys/P
