CORAM:
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANOJ JAIN
J U D G M E N T (oral) 1. Both these petitions, being connected, have been taken up together.

1. There are two cross-FIRs i.e. FIR No.58/2025 and FIR No.59/2025 dated
   23.01.2025, registered at P.S. Burari. Both the abovesaid FIRs have been
   registered for commission of offences under Sections 110/3(5) of Bharatiya
   Nyaya Sanhita, (BNS), 2023 (corresponding Sections 308 / 34 IPC).

2. In CRL.M.C.1991/2026, FIR has been registered against the accused
   Anwar and Hasim with allegations that they had given injuries with 'bricks and
   danda' upon Geeta Devi (respondent no. 3 herein).

3. In cross-case i.e. CRL.M.C.1985/2025, there are three accused persons

                      i.e. Prem, Geeta and Vivek, and in the incident in question, Anwar has received
                     injuries upon his head.
   

4.  As per the bare averments in the aforesaid FIRs, dispute arose on
                     22.01.2025 concerning the parking of a scooty, which escalated into a scuffle
                     between the parties and resulted in the registration of two separate, albeit, cross
                     FIRs.
   

5.  Though, injuries received by the above said two injured persons i.e.
                     Geeta Devi and Anwar were found to be simple in nature, keeping in mind the
                     manner in which the those were given, the cases got registered for commission
                     of offences under [Sections 110](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1504556/) / [3(5)](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1507082/) BNS.
   

6.  The investigation is over but the charge-sheets are yet to be submitted
                     before the concerned Court.
   

7.  It is apprised that parties have been able to bury their differences
                     amicably and have entered into compromise on 13.02.2026. Copy of
                     Compromise Deed has also been placed on record and the parties have agreed
                     to give their 'no objection' to the quashing of respective FIRs.
   

8.  The petitioners and injured, in both the matters, are present. Respective
                     counsel are also present. The Investigating Officer (I.O.) is present and
                     identifies the parties/ injured.
   

9. They all have reiterated the terms of settlement and submit that they
                     reside in the same building, albeit, on different floors, and in order to live in
                     complete peace and harmony have decided to resolve all their differences and,
                     therefore, are no longer interested in pursuing their respective FIRs. All the
                     injured also state that they have fully recovered from the injuries in question.
   

They claim that they have entered into settlement with the intervention of well-
wishers, voluntarily and without any pressure or coercion. The affidavits of
respondents in both the cases, giving their 'no objection' to the quashing of
respective FIRs have also been placed on record and reliance is placed on Gian
Singh v. State of Punjab & Anr. (2012) 10 SCC 303.

1.  In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with
                     criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose. Even otherwise, the
                     injuries sustained are not serious and are simple in nature. Reference be made
                     to [Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/160278245/), (2014) 6 SCC 466,
                     Antonnette Promilla Fernanadez v. State NCT of Delhi and Another 2026
                     SCC OnLine Del 809 and Mohd. Rashid & Ors. V. The State (Govt. Of Nct
                     Of Delhi) & Anr. (in CRL.M.C.8182/2025; DoD 18.11.2025).
   

2.  Keeping in mind the aforesaid and in order to facilitate both the sides in
                     maintaining and restoring cordiality, the proceedings deserve to be quashed.
   

3.  Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under
                     Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, it is deemed
                     appropriate to quash both the FIR.
   

4.  Consequently, to secure the ends of justice, FIR No.58/2025 and FIR
                     No.59/2025 dated 23.01.2025, registered at P.S. Burari, for commission of
                     offences under [Sections 110](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1504556/) / [3(5)](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1507082/) BNS, along with all consequential
                     proceedings arising therefrom, quashed. Original Compromise Deed and
                     original affidavits of parties, copies of which have been filed with the present
                     petition, shall be submitted to concerned SHO/IO within four weeks from
                     today.
   

5. The petition stands disposed of in aforesaid terms.

6. Pending applications also stand disposed of.
