% 18.05.2026 1.

By virtue of the present petition Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.378/2011 dated 27.11.2011 registered at PS.: Najafgarh, Delhi under Sections 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and all proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

Issue notice. Learned APP for the State accepts notice and submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR. 3.

Respondent no.2 also accepts notice and affirms and submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR as she is happily residing together with petitioner since 20.08.2022. 4.

5.

Facts disclose that the petitioner no.1 and the respondent no.2 have mutually settled all their disputes and are living together amicably as also the present petition is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s). 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 petitioner will be an exercise in futility.

6.

Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.378/2011 dated 27.11.2011 registered at PS.: Najafgarh, Delhi under Sections 498A/406/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

7.

As such, the present petition, alongwith the pending application, is disposed of in the aforesaid term.
