% 18.07.2024 1.

The present petition under Section 226 & 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 ('Cr.P.C.') has been filed on behalf of the petitioners seeking quashing of the case arising out of FIR bearing No.582/2019, registered at Police Station Jahagirpuri, Delhi for offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC'). 2.

Issue notice. Learned ASC accepts notice on behalf of the State. 3.

A request for quashing of the FIR has been made on account of the Settlement inter se the parties. It is stated that no child was born out of the said wedlock. The parties have been divorced through mutual consent on 13.02.2023. It is stated in the Settlement Deed dated 09.07.2021 petitioner no. 1 shall pay a sum of Rs. 8,50,000/- to the respondent no. 2 as full and final amount. A fine of Rs.10,000/- was also imposed upon the petitioner No.1. It is also stated that the petitioner no. 1 has already paid Rs. 4,00,000 The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

to respondent no. 2 and has paid the remaining amount of Rs.4,60,000 vide Demand Draft bearing No.017409 to the respondent No. 2 in Court today. 4.

The parties are present before this Court in person/through Video Conferencing today, and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer concerned.

Today, the complainant who is present in Court states that she has received all amounts due to her and has no objection if the 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, 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.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No.582/2019, registered at Police Station Jahagirpuri, Delhi for offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC') and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

The petition stands disposed of.
