identified by the 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 them.
6.
The present FIR was registered for commission of offence punishable under Sections 323/363/365/506 of IPC. However, this Court takes note of the fact that a matrimonial dispute had been arisen between the parties. The accused in this case is the grandmother of the child, who is a special child. After the case was compromised between the parties, the custody of the child has been handed over to the father/son of the petitioner herein. 7.
Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, and without any coercion, 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.
8.
Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 246/2019, registered at Police Station Paschim Vihar, East, Delhi, for commission of offence punishable under Sections 323/363/365/506 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
