13. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, especially, when dispute does not involve any public interest and is, primarily, private in nature. In any case, even the complainant does not wish to press any charges against the petitioners.

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

15. Consequently, to secure the ends of justice, FIR No.102/2026 dated 01.03.2026, registered at Police Station Bhajanpura, for commission of offences under Sections 281/125 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, is, hereby, quashed.
