Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between the petitioner no. 1 and the respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Delhi on 11.12.2009, in accordance with Hindu rites. Two children namely Vedant Aggarwal was born on 29.09.2010 and Aditya Aggarwal was born on 06.06.2015 out of the said wedlock. It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no. 2 and respondent no. 2 started living separately since 06.06.2025. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that statement of petition no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was recorded before the concerned Court. On 30.07.2024, the marriage was dissolved before the concerned Court.

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. Therefore, she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 8.

In view of the above, 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. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 430/2023, registered at P.S. Ashok Vihar, Delhi for the offences punishable under Sections 406/420/34 of IPC The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
