5.

The parties are stated to have resolved all their disputes amicably and in view of the mediated settlement, respondent No.2 has re-joined the company of petitioner No. 1 on 09.01.2024 and they have been living together since, alongwith their only daughter/son. 6.

Ms. Kiran Bairwa, learned APP confirms that the State has no objection to the subject FIR being quashed.

7.

In the circumstances, in line with the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2012) 10 SCC 303 as also in Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr. reported as (2014) 6 SCC 466, this court sees no reason why the subject FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom should not be quashed. This court is of the view that in light of the settlement between the contesting parties, continuing with the subject FIR and all subsequent proceedings would be an exercise in futility and would not be conducive to peace and harmony between the parties. 8.

Accordingly, case FIR No. 576/2023 dated 19.06.2023 registered under sections 498-A/34/406 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 at P.S.: Bhalswa Dairy is quashed. All proceedings arising therefrom also stand closed.
