The Delhi High Court has recently dismissed a first information report (FIR) regarding allegations of cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy, and instructed the involved parties to buy uniform socks valued at ₹48,000 for Delhi Police personnel.

Justice Saurabh Banerjee issued the order upon being informed that the parties in question have reached a settlement and no longer wish to pursue the criminal proceedings.
The Court acknowledged the submission and stated that pursuing the FIR any further would be pointless. The court then directed both the complainant and the two accused individuals to collectively contribute ₹48,000. This sum of money is to be utilized for the acquisition of uniform socks to benefit police personnel stationed at the following police stations: Keshav Puram, Bharat Nagar, Model Town, Ashok Vihar, Roop Nagar, and Maurice Nagar.
“The petitioners submitted 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 to purchase the uniform socks for the police personnel stationed at the 6 Police Stations,” the court stated while giving out the order.

The court order clearly mentioned, “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 proceeding 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).”

Subsequently, the court proceeded to dismiss or quash the case.

The accused individuals expressed their intent to provide their respective portions of the money to the complainant, who will then purchase the socks for the police officials. Consequently, the Court disposed of the plea and scheduled a compliance check for October 30th.
