¶6This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioner as well as the respondent no.2, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding/ Compromise Deed dated 03.08.2026, whereby the petitioner has paid the respondent a total sum of Rs.2,75,000/- by way of a Demand Draft being DD No.538397 dated 18.07.2026 drawn on Canara Bank as full and final settlement of all his present, past and future claims and as such, the parties 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 petitioner.

¶7The petitioner and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been duly identified by the IO.

¶8As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioner 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, 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.
