Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid Settlement Deed dated 03.06.2025 whereby the petitioner no.1 has already paid her a sum of Rs.12,00,000/- out of the total settlement amount of Rs.15,00,000/- and a DD dated 09.03.2026 bearing No.217793 of Rs.3,00,000/- (State Bank of India) has been handed over in Court to her today as full and final settlement of all her present, past and future claims including alimony, maintenance, etc. Respondent no.2 further submits that her marriage with the petitioner no.1 has since been dissolved by mutual consent, and she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.
5.
The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer.

The present petition is accompanied by a settlement already arrived voluntarily between the parties and their respective affidavit(s). In view thereof, the parties shall remain bound by all the terms and conditions of the settlement arrived inter se themselves. As such, following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr. (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. (2014) 6 SCC 466, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioners will be an exercise in futility. 7.
Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.895/2022 dated 04.10.2022 registered at PS: Dabri under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
