Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that the marriage between the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 29.11.2013 as per the Hindu rites and customs. One female child was born from their wedlock on 16.02.2015. After some time due, to different lifestyles and temperamental differences, both the parties could not reside with each other and since 10.05.2019, petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 started living separately from each other. Thereafter, respondent no. 2 had got the present FIR registered against the petitioners under the relevant sections. 6.
It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter before the learned Mahila Court on 20.03.2024, wherein it has also been agreed upon between the parties that the future rights of the child will not be effected. The statements of the parties to the said effect have been recorded by the learned Joint Registrar (Judicial) on 02.05.2025. 7.
On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat.
