The complainant who is present through video-conferencing states that she has no objection, if the present FIR is quashed. 6.

In view of the above facts that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will and without any coercion and also the fact that the present matter is a family matter, this Court is of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. Hence, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Moreover, there is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

7.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 543/2016, registered at Police Station Saket, for the offence punishable under Sections 323/354/506/34 of the IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to payment of costs of Rs.20,000/-, to be deposited by the petitioners with Advocates' Welfare Fund, Saket Courts, New Delhi within a period of seven days from date.

In view of above, the present petition stands disposed of. 9.
