3.

I have spoken with the parties present today. It is submitted by both sides that they have settled all matrimonial disputes amicably and their marriage already stands dissolved by way of decree of divorce dated 03.05.2025. Petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have one son born out of their wedlock and his custody shall remain with petitioner no.1 with visitation rights available to respondent no.2. Towards full and final settlement amount, the balance amount of Rs. 6,00,000/- is paid by petitioner no. 1 today in Court by way of demand draft to respondent no.2, who submits that she does not wish to pursue prosecution of the petitioners. 4.

Having spoken with the parties, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push them through trial. Therefore, the petition is allowed and accordingly, the FIR No. 88/2019 of PS Dwarka, South for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC and the consequent proceedings are quashed.
