¶5Briefly stated, the present FIR came to be registered on the complaint of Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 in respect of certain disputes between the parties. During the pendency of the proceedings, with the intervention of common friends, relatives and other respectable persons, the parties amicably resolved their disputes and executed a Settlement Deed dated 26.02.2026. Under the said settlement, Respondent Nos. 2 and 3 have stated that they have no surviving grievance, claim or demand against the petitioners and have agreed to cooperate in the quashing of the present FIR.

¶6On a query made by this Court, Respondent No. 3, who is present through video conferencing and has been duly identified by her counsel as well as the IO concerned, states that the parties have amicably settled their disputes vide Settlement Deed dated 26.02.2026. She further states that the settlement has been entered into voluntarily, out of her own free will and without any force, coercion, pressure or undue influence. She has no objection to the quashing of the present FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom. Respondent No. 2 has also consented to the settlement and has no objection to the quashing of the present FIR.

¶7In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their disputes and the complainants/respondents have no objection to the quashing of the FIR, no useful purpose would be served by continuing the criminal proceedings. Rather, continuation of the proceedings would only perpetuate the disputes and acrimony between the parties. The present case, therefore, warrants exercise of the inherent jurisdiction of this Court to secure the ends of justice.
