differences, both the parties could not reside with each other and started living separately. Thereafter, respondent no. 2 had got the present FIR registered against the petitioner.
6.
It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter. The statements of the parties to the said effect have been recorded by the learned Joint Registrar (Judicial) on 13.05.2025. 7.
On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated by respondent no. 2 that she is presently living happily with the petitioner since 18.07.2024. Respondent no. 2 further states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 8.
In view of the above fact, that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 9.
Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 128/2021, registered at Police Station Uttam Nagar, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406 of IPC, and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed. 10.
In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of. 11.
