This petition is filed seeking quashing of FIR No.692/2016 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC at PS Neb Sarai, on the basis of settlement arrived at between the parties on 27th January 2017, with the facilitation of Mediation Centre Saket Courts, Delhi, which is on record of this Court. 2.

Petitioner nos.1 to 3 and respondent no.2 complainant are present in the Court and duly identified by the IO and by their respective counsels. 3.

As per the settlement, petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2, pursuant to their marital discord, have now reconciled, and are living with each other harmoniously along with their one male child. 4.

of warrants issued against petitioner.

5.

Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, the FIR No.692/2016 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC at PS Neb Sarai, and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

6.

Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 7.

Accordingly, the petition is disposed of along with the pending application.
