% 13.12.2024 1.

This is a petition under Section 482 of the CrPC seeking quashing of FIR No. 0298/2016, under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC, registered at Police Station Chhawla and proceedings emanating therefrom. 2.

It is stated that the parties have arrived at a settlement dated 08.08.2024 pursuant to which the petitioner had to pay a total sum of Rs.1,70,000/- lakhs to respondent No. 2 which has already been paid. 3.

Petitioner is present in Court and has been identified by his counsel, Mr. Amandeep Rana.

4.

Ms. Manisha Shokeen, learned counsel appears for respondent no. 2 and states that respondent no. 2 has recently given birth to a baby girl and hence, is unable to appear through video conference mode.

5.

She has drawn my attention to the Vakalatnama in her favour which is duly signed by respondent no. 2 and states that the settlement is binding and she on behalf of her client has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 6.

There is no child born out of the wedlock between the petitioner and respondent no. 2.

7.

Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure ends of justice. The Court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings are permitted to be prosecuted any further. It is a fit case for quashing. 8.

In this view of the matter, FIR No. 0298/2016, under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Chhawla and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

9.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
