The petitioner, Raushan Kumar, filed a petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 before the Delhi High Court seeking quashing of FIR No. 466/2025, registered under Sections 69 and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, on allegations that he had established physical relations with the complainant (Respondent No. 2) on a false promise of marriage, intoxicated her, recorded an explicit video, and later demanded Rs. 5 lakh as a condition for marriage. During the pendency of the proceedings, the parties solemnised their marriage on 16.10.2025 at Arya Samaj Mandir, Delhi, and subsequently entered into a settlement agreement dated 22.10.2025. Respondent No. 2 appeared personally before the Court, affirmed that the marriage was of her own free will without coercion, and stated she had no grievance and no objection to quashing of the FIR. The Court considered the settled legal principles from Gian Singh v. State of Punjab and Narinder Singh v. State of Punjab regarding the High Court's inherent jurisdiction to quash criminal proceedings upon settlement, noting that such power must be exercised with caution especially in serious cases, but that matrimonial disputes where the wrong is essentially private in nature may be quashed when parties have genuinely settled.
