% 11.09.2019 The petitioners have filed the present petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of FIR No. 0844/2014, under Sections 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, registered at P.S.: Jagat Puri and the proceedings emanating therefrom. The Investigating Officer, who is present in Court, has identified the petitioners as well as respondent no.2.

Learned counsels for the parties state that petitioners and respondent no.2 are living together. Respondent no.2 states that she is living happily and peacefully with her husband/petitioner no.1 and her in laws since 20.02.2015.

The status report has been filed.

As per the status report, both the parties have amicably settled their dispute on 20.02.2015 and the settlement has been verified. Petitioners and respondent no.2 are living happily and peacefully for the last four years. Respondent no.2 reiterates the aforesaid facts and submits that matrimonial dispute stands amicably settled. Respondent no.2 further submits that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed and the petition is allowed.

In view of the above settlement arrived at between the parties, this Court is of the view that no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the parties entangled in the criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No. 0844/2014, under Sections 498A/406/34 of the IPC, registered at P.S.: Jagat Puri and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of accordingly.
