A Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C read with Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as 'B.N.S.S.') has been filed on behalf of the Petitioner, Gopal @ Gopal Pahadiya for quashing of FIR No.613/2015 under Section 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as 'IPC') registered at Police Station Khyala and all the proceedings emanating therefrom. 2.

Brief facts of the case are that the marriage was solemnized between petitioner No. 1 and respondent No. 2 on 03.05.1996 according to Hindu rites and ceremonies. Due to the temperamental differences and conflicts between the Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2 they started living separately from each other from 23.09.2015.

It is further submitted that on the Complaint of respondent No. 2, an FIR bearing No. 613/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 got registered at Police Station Khyala. 4.

It is stated that the Chargesheet was filed in the Court and during the pendency of the case, the matter has been amicably settled between the petitioners and Respondent No.2, whereby Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2 have decided to reconcile their marriage and to live together as husband and wife.

5.

In view of the Settlement between the parties, the present Petition has been filed.

6.

The parties are present before this Court in-person today, and have been identified by their respective counsels and Investigating Officer concerned. The parties have endorsed the amicable settlement and accepted the terms thereof voluntarily. Both Petitioners and the Respondent No.2 undertake to abide by the terms of the Settlement dated February, 2025. Considering that it is a family matter, no fruitful purpose will be served in continuing with the FIR.

7.

The present petition has been signed by all the parties and is supported by their respective affidavits. The parties have reaffirmed the terms of the settlement arrived at vide Compromise dated February, 2025 and they also submit that the said Compromise has been arrived at between the parties without any pressure and coercion. 8.

The respondent No. 2/wife submits that she has been livingly in her matrimonial home peacefully since 2016 after reconciling all the issues with the Petitioners. Today, the complainant/respondent No. 2/wife, who is present in Court, states that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed.

9.

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, I am of the opinion that no useful purpose will be served in continuing with the proceedings, 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.

10.

Moreover, there is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

11.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No.613/2015 registered at Police Station Khyala, for offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
