¶1A Petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed on behalf of the Petitioner for quashing of the FIR No.500/2003 under Section 381/420/468/471 IPC registered at Police Station Dabri, Delhi on the basis of mutual Settlement.

¶2The Petition is supported with the Affidavit of the Complainant Jagdish Singh who has stated that the matter stood compromised on 10.05.2004 as the Petitioner has returned Rs.26,000/-.

¶3As per the allegations made in the FIR, the Petitioner was an employee of Respondent No.2 who had taken out Rs.24,500/- from the account of the Petitioner by apparently forging the signature on the cheques. The matter got settled way back in 2004. However, according to the Petitioner as well as the Complainant, they were not aware that the matter is still pending. Though, the Chargesheet was filed in the year 2004, neither the Complainant nor the Petitioner were aware of the pendency of the Chargesheet. Consequently, the Petitioner got declared as a Proclaimed Offender. This is a digitally signed order. Subsequently, the Petitioner got arrested on 18.01.2020, when he came to know about the pendency of this case.

¶4It is submitted that both the petitioners and respondent No. 2 have already sorted out their all differences with the intervention of their respective persons and they have left no grudge or grievance against each other in any manner whatsoever. Therefore, the Petition be quashed.

¶5The Complainant is present in the Court and submits that the matter stands settled with the Petitioner who has filed the present Petition. He has no objection if the FIR is quashed against the Petitioner on account of the settlement already arrived at between the parties.

¶6The parties are present before this Court in-person today, and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer concerned.

¶7It is an old case of 2003 which got settled between the petitioner and the Complainant in 2004 itself. The cash money which was allegedly taken out from the account of the Complainant stood returned. Both the parties have endorsed that they have amicably settled the matter.

¶8In view of the submissions made, the Petition is allowed. Accordingly, the FIR bearing No. 500/2003 registered at Police Station Dabri, for offences punishable under Sections 381/420/468/471 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 with all the subsequent proceedings and the charge sheet is hereby quashed qua the Petitioner herein.
