Delhi High Court dismisses cheating case, orders parties to donate ₹48,000 worth of socks to police.

Justice Saurabh Banerjee quashes FIR, orders purchase of uniform socks for police personnel

Justice Saurabh Banerjee has passed an order quashing a First Information Report (FIR) after it was informed that the parties involved in the dispute have reached a settlement and do not wish to pursue criminal proceedings.

The Court acknowledged this submission and deemed the continuation of the FIR as futile.

As a resolution, Justice Banerjee directed the complainant and two accused individuals to contribute a total of ₹48,000. This amount will be utilized to purchase uniform socks for the police personnel stationed at the following police stations: Keshavpuram, Bharat Nagar, Model Town, Ashok Vihar, Roop Nagar, and Maurice Nagar.

In its order, the Court stated, “The petitioners submit that they shall hand over their share of ₹24,000 in cash to the respondent no.2 today, who shall in turn, add the same to his share of ₹24,000 and utilize the total cost of ₹48,000 for purchase/procurement of uniform socks for the police personnel stationed at the 6 Police Stations.”

Subsequently, the case was quashed by the Court.

The order further read, “Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.0434/2018 dated 09.12.2018 registered under Sections 406/420/467/468/469/471/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 at PS: Ashok Vihar, Delhi and all proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed subject to the petitioners and the respondent no.2 depositing a cost of ₹24,000 each (total amounting to ₹48,000).”
