ORDER
% 30.04.2026
1. By way of the instant petition, the petitioner seeks quashing of the
FIR bearing No. 823/2014, registered at Police Station Aman Vihar, Delhi for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 354B/506/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter „IPC‟).
2. Issue notice. The learned APP accepts notice on behalf of the State.
3. The petitioner and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO) concerned, Police Station Aman Vihar, Delhi.
4. Brief facts of the case are that on 06.05.2014 at about 2:20 PM, the
complainant herein had gone to collect water from a tanker stationed in front of her former residence, which had been sold in November 2013. During that time, an altercation allegedly arose with Ms. Shiv Dulari regarding the filling of water. It is alleged that son of Shiv Dulari i.e. the present petitioner came out from his house and had used abusive language towards respondent no. 2, had assaulted her. Subsequently, respondent No. 2/Complainant had lodged the present FIR against the petitioner. After investigation, the chargesheet was filed before the concerned Court.
5. During the pendency of the present case, with the intervention of common friends and relatives, both the parties have now amicably settled their disputes vide Memorandum of Understanding/Compromise Deed dated 08.01.2025.
6. On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been
identified by the IO concerned, has categorically stated that the matter has been settled amicably after the petitioner had tendered his apology. Therefore, in terms of the settlement, the complainant has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.
7. In view of the above, that the parties have amicably resolved their
differences 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 bearing No. 823/2014, registered at Police Station Aman Vihar, Delhi for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 354B/506/509/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
9. In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of.
10. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. DR. SWARANA KANTA SHARMA, J APRIL 30, 2026/ns/ R
