By virtue of the present petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.), the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.310/2023 dated 25.12.2023 registered at PS.: Gulabi Bagh, Delhi under Section 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of the factum that the petitioner and the respondent no.2 have settled their disputes amicably and are now living together amicably.

that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR as she is happily living together with the petitioner.

4.

The petitioner and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the IO. 5.

Facts disclose that the petitioner and the respondent no.2 have mutually settled their disputes and the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s). 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 petitioner will be an exercise in futility. 6.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.310/2023 dated 25.12.2023 registered at PS.: Gulabi Bagh, Delhi under Section 498A/406/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

7.

As such, the present petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
