28th April 2008, which has since been dissolved by decree of divorce dated 7th July 2023. Two daughters were born out of this wedlock. 4.
Respondent no.2 has given an affidavit of 'No Objection' for quashing of this FIR basis the settlement dated 16th January 2023. 5.
Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioner being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, the FIR No.241/2017 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Patel Nagar and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 6.
It is however made clear that the said settlement will not affect the rights of the minor children in future.
7.
Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 8.
Accordingly, the petition is disposed of along with the pending applications, if any.
