Due to temperamental differences, parties have been residing separately. It is stated that on the complaint of respondent no. 2, the present FIR was registered against the petitioners.

During pendency of the case, both the parties had amicably settled their disputes vide Settlement Agreement dated 16.07.2025. The complainant is present in person alongwith her counsel, who states that she has received the balance compromise amount of Rs.30,00,000/-, by way of Demand Draft bearing No. 007585, dated 06.02.2026, drawn on HDFC Bank 7.

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. Respondent no. 2 further states she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences 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. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 168/2018, dated 19.03.2018, registered at Police Station Rajouri Garden, New Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
