place between the parties. Further, upon a complaint filed by respondent no. 2, the present FIR was registered against the petitioner. It is stated that after completion of investigation, chargesheet was filed on 13.11.2021 before the concerned court. During pendency of the trial, the parties have now amicably settled their disputes vide Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 27.02.2024.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 6.

In view of the above, that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, and without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 7.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 413/2021, registered at Police Station Jamia Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 323/506/509/34 of IPC, and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
