% 13.05.2026 1.

By virtue of the present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.466/2025 dated 11.07.2025 registered at PS: Sarita Vihar under Sections 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom, in view of the fact that the the petitioner no.1 and the respondent no.2 have amicably resolved all their disputes and have mutually agreed to resume cohabitation along with their minor child. The present petition is accompanied by their respective proofs of identity. 2.

that she and the petitioner no.1 have amicably resolved all their disputes are now living together happily with their minor child. As such, she submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 5.

The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the IO. 6.

Facts disclose that the parties have expressed their clear intention as also taken steps towards resuming their matrimonial life, as they are now residing together alongwith their minor child in peace and harmony. As such, following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr. (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.; (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.; (2014) 6 SCC 466, since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the aforesaid FIR against the petitioners will be an exercise in futility.

7.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.466/2025 dated 11.07.2025 registered at PS: Sarita Vihar under Sections 498A/406/ 34 IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 8.

As such, the present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. SAURABH BANERJEE, J MAY 13, 2026/bh The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 15/05/2026 at 13:12:34
