The present Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the Petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No. 62/2023, under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Nangloi, Delhi.
2.
It is submitted that marriage of Petitioner No.1-husband with Respondent No.2-wife was solemnized on 25.08.2016 as per Hindu Rites and Customs and a child was born on 15.10.2017. However, due to temperamental differences, Respondent No.2 left the company of Petitioner No.1 and filed a Complaint of dowry demand against him and his family members on 18.01.2023, which culminated into registration of FIR No. 62/2023, under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC, at Police Station Nangloi, Delhi.

3.
It is submitted that with the intervention of family members, relatives and well wishers, Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2 have resolved their disputes and arrived at an amicable settlement, terms whereof have been recorded in Mutual Agreement dated 02.01.2025. 4.
The parties had appeared before the Court of learned Joint Registrar on 07.04.2025 and their statement was recorded. The parties have stated that they have arrived at a settlement without any force, coercion and undue influence and pressure and they have signed the Mutual Agreement dated 02.01.2025 with their wish and will. The Investigating Officer present before the Court also verified the identity of the parties. 5.
Learned Counsel for Petitioners submits that the parties have been happily living together for last one year and no grievance against each other survives and since Respondent No.2 has already made a statement before the Court that she does not want to pursue the proceedings in FIR No.62/2023, the present Petition be allowed and FIR registered against the Petitioners be quashed.
6.
Respondent No.2 is present through VC and she submits that she has no grievance against the Petitioners and also „no objection‟ to the quashing of FIR. She affirms that she is happily living together with Petitioner No.1. 7.
In view of the fact that the FIR in question was premised upon a matrimonial dispute between Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2, which has been amicably resolved in term of Mutual Agreement dated 02.01.2025 and the fact that parties have been living together for last one year and also that Respondent No.2 has given „no objection‟ to the quashing of FIR, no fruitful purpose would be served in continuing with the proceedings arising out of the FIR.
