for a few months now; petitioner who is present in Court also confirms the same.

3.

ASC for State objects to the quashing of the said FIR basis the judgment of Coordinate Bench of this Court in V.P. Singh v State and Another, (2022) SCC OnLine Del 972. Counsel for petitioner relies on the decision of single Bench order in Prem Kumar v The State & Ors in W.P (C RL) 2869/2023 dated 30th January, 2024.

4.

However, considering the peculiar facts and circumstances that issues arose out of a relationship between the parties, and subsequent discord, and now the matter is settled and the parties are living with each other finally, in the opinion of this Court, that no purpose would be served to continue with the proceedings further.

11.

Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Consequently, the FIR No. 126/2024 under Sections 376/328/506 IPC registered at PS Rajouri Garden, Delhi and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

12.

Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 13.

Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. Pending applications (if any) are disposed of as infructuous.
