and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO) concerned, Police Station, Najafgarh, Delhi.

Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between the petitioner no. 1 and the respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Delhi on 14.11.2019, in accordance with Hindu rites and ceremonies. It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no. 2 living separately since 02.07.2022. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 22.01.2025 executed at Delhi Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi. .

7.

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. It is also stated that she has received the gold ring. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. However, this Court clarified to her that in case this gold ring is not found genuine, this Court will not be able to intervene and revive the present FIR. However, respondent no. 2 states that she has received the gold ring to her satisfaction and also the learned counsel for respondent no. 2 has also no objection to the same. 8.

In view of the above, that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out 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. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 657/2020, registered at Police Station Najafgarh, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
