It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no. 2.

It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 19.10.2024. The statements of the said effect have been recorded before the Joint Registrar (Judicial) dated 27.05.2025.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 8.

In view of the above, that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, and without any coercion, 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. 44/2021, registered at Police Station Sector 23 Dwarka, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34/377 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
