By way of the present petition, the petitioners are seeking quashing of FIR bearing no. 217/2018, registered at Police Station Tilak Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/354/354(A)/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter 'IPC'). 2.
The petitioners and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court in person and have been identified by their counsels and concerned Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Tilak Nagar, Delhi. 3.
Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 23.02.2009 as per the Hindu rites and customs and were living with each other. One male child was born from their wedlock on 18.04.2010. After some time, due to different lifestyles and temperamental differences, both the parties could not reside with each other and since 15.05.2017, petitioner no. 1 and respondent The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

no. 2 have started living separately from each other. Thereafter, on the complaint of respondent no.2, the present FIR was registered against the petitioners under the relevant sections.
4.
It is stated that during the pendency of the case, both the parties have amicably settled their disputes vide Memorandum of Understanding dated 18.08.2025 and are presently living together. 5.
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.
6.
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. 7.
Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 217/2018, registered at Police Station Tilak Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/354/354(A)/34 of the IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
8.
In view of the above, the present writ petition stands disposed of. 9.
