It is stated that the parties have arrived at a settlement dated 02.05.2019 before the Counseling Cell, Family Court, Saket, New Delhi pursuant to which the petitioner no.1 had to pay a total sum of Rs.3,25,000/- as a full and final Settlement amount to respondent no. 2 out of which Rs. 2,35,000/- has already been paid and the remaining amount of Rs. 90,000/- has been paid in Court today vide Demand Draft no. 157090 dated 10.12.2024 drawn on Bank of Baroda, Munirka, New Delhi. 3.

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and has been identified by her counsel, Mr. Hasibbudin and Investigating Officer Inspector Satbir Singh, Police Station Jaitpur.

5.

There is no child born out of the wedlock.

6.

Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure ends of justice. The Court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings are permitted to be prosecuted any further. It is a fit case for quashing. 7.

In this view of the matter, FIR No. 0509/2018, under Sections 498A/ 406/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Jaitpur and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

8.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
