Delhi High Court Quashes FIR in Friends' Dispute, Orders Community Service
The Delhi High Court quashed an FIR filed after a fight between friends, noting the dispute was amicably settled and the parties remain friends without grievances. The court ordered the accused to complete six two-hour community service sessions at the Regional Institute of Medical Science in Manipur within two months and to pay Rs 10,000 to the Delhi High Court Bar Association. The order was issued on August 21, emphasizing that continuing criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose given the low likelihood of conviction.
