No child was born from their wedlock. After some time, due to different lifestyles and temperamental differences, both the parties could not reside with each other and started living separately from each other. Thereafter, due to temperamental differences between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2, the respondent no. 2 got the FIR registered against the petitioners under the relevant sections. 6.

It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter vide Mediation Settlement dated 09.10.2024, entered between them at Mediation Centre, Saket Courts, New Delhi. 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 the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties. Respondent no. 2 further states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 8.
