% 16.12.2025 1.

By way of the present petition, the petitioner is seeking quashing of FIR bearing no. 90/2021, registered at Police Station Vasant Kunj North, Delhi for the commission of offences punishable under Section 376 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter 'IPC').

2.

The petitioners and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsels and concerned Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Vasant Kunj North, Delhi. 3.

Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that on 01.11.2019 and 29.12.2019, the petitioner had developed physical relation with respondent no.2 at Hotel Belmond, Mahipal Pur, New Delhi on the basis of allurement and false assurance of marriage. However, the petitioner had refused to marry respondent no.2. Resultantly, on the complaint of respondent no.2, the present FIR was registered against the petitioner under the relevant The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

section. It is stated that after the registration of the FIR in question, the petitioner and respondent no. 2 had married on 17.04.2023 at Arya Samaj Mandir Khirki Extension and certificate of marriage has been placed on record. The IO has also verified the factum of marriage. 4.

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 and presently they are living together. Respondent no. 2 further states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.

5.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 6.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 90/2021, registered at Police Station Vasant Kunj North, Delhi for the commission of offences punishable under Section 376 of the IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

7.

In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of. 8.

The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. DR. SWARANA KANTA SHARMA, J DECEMBER 16, 2025/A/AP The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 18/12/2025 at 12:08:57
