The petition is supported by affidavits of the petitioner (filed through his SPA holder, who is arrayed as P2), as also of respondent No.2, alongwith proof of their IDs.

4.

The petitioner has joined via video-conferencing since he is in the Indian Army and is currently posted in Srinagar; and respondent No. 2 is present in court. Their credentials have been verified and they have also been identified by their respective counsel. 5.

The parties have confirmed that no child was born from the wed-lock. 6.

No appeal is stated to have been filed from the divorce decree. 7.

The court has queried Ms. Shilpi Koshik, respondent No.2, who confirms that she has taken divorce by mutual consent; and that a settlement deed has been signed between the parties; and that in fulland-final settlement of all her claims including towards maintenance (past, present and future), stridhan, dowry articles, jewellery, permanent alimony, etc., she was to receive a sum of Rs.20,00,000/- from petitioner No. 1; out of which Rs. 11,00,000/- was paid earlier and Rs.9,00,000/- has been paid in court today, in compliance of the terms of the settlement deed. Respondent No.2 confirms that all aspects of the settlement have now been performed.

9.

In the circumstances, in line with the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2012) 10 SCC 303 as also in Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2014) 6 SCC 466, this court sees no reason why the subject FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom should not be quashed. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

This court is of the view that in light of the settlement between the contesting parties, continuing with the subject FIR and all subsequent proceedings would be an exercise in futility and would not be conducive to peace and harmony between the parties.

10. Accordingly, case FIR No. 387/2021 dated 14.08.2021 registered under sections 498A/406/506/34 of the IPC at P.S.: Vivek Vihar, Shahdara, Delhi is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed.
