CRL.M.A. 9657/2024 1.

Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.

CRL.M.C. 2530/2024 2.

The present petition has been filed under Section 482 CrPC seeking quashing of FIR No.0236/1999 under Sections 363/366 IPC registered at Police Station Badarpur and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom on the ground that the parties have arrived at a settlement. 3.

The case of the prosecution and brief facts of the case are that in the year 1999, the father of the petitioner no.2 made a complaint to the police that his daughter had gone missing. Following this the present FIR came to be registered under Section 363/366 IPC. He submits that during the pendency of the proceedings the petitioner no.1 and the petitioner no.2 got married in the year 1999 itself and thereafter, they have also been blessed with two children, one son in the year 2003 and a daughter in the year 2005. He submits that ever since the petitioners got married, they are staying The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

together. He submits that it is only on 20.07.2023 that the petitioner no.1 was arrested and, thereafter, they came to know about the pendency of the criminal proceedings.

4.

Issue notice. The learned APP for the State accepts notice. On instructions from the IO he affirms that the petitioner, as well as, the respondent got married in the year 1999 and they have been blessed with two children. He also submits that the State has no objection in case the FIR in question is quashed.

5.

The petitioner no.2 (wife), as well as, the respondent no.2 (complaint) are present in the Court and they affirm the factum of marriage of petitioner no.2 with the petitioner no.1 in the year 1999. They state that they have no objection in case the aforesaid FIR in question is quashed. 6.

In view of the fact that the parties have arrived at a settlement, no useful purpose will be served in continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.

7.

It is, thus, in the interest of justice that the present FIR and all the other proceedings emanating therefrom be quashed. 8.

Consequently, the petition is allowed and the FIR No.0236/1999 under Sections 363/366 IPC registered at Police Station Badarpur alongwith all other proceedings emanating therefrom, is quashed. 9.

The petition stands disposed of in the above terms. 10.
