between the petitioner No. 1 and the respondent no.2 was solemnized on 27.04.2018. However, due to temperamental differences between the petitioners and respondent no.2 disputes arose resulting to the registration of the present FIR.

6.

The petitioners are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel Ms. Sanyya Pawar and Investigating Officer (IO) SI Suman Singh, Police Station North Rohini.

7.

On the 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. It is also stated by respondent No.2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties vide settlement deed dated 28.07.2023 entered into between them.

8.

It is submitted that respondent no.2 has settled all her claims in respect of her dowry articles, stridhan, marriage expenses, jewellery, gift items and claims of past, present and future maintenance and permanent alimony with the petitioners.

9.

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. 10.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 385/2023 registered at Police Station North Rohini for offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of the IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
