family and friends, both the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Memorandum of Settlement dated 15.03.2025 and have been living together happily since the year 2019.

5.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been identified by the IO concerned, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise with the petitioners, out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. The statement of the parties to the said effect had been recorded by the learned Joint Registrar (Judicial) on 02.04.2025. 6.

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. 7.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 1061/2017, registered at Police Station Aman Vihar, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

8.

In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. 9.
