Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and the respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Sitamarhi, Bihar on 16.01.2017, in accordance with Muslim rites and customs. It is stated that one girl child was born out of their wedlock. It is stated that due to some temperamental differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and respondent no. 2. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that the matter has amicably been settled between both the parties before the Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi on 17.04.2025.

7.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been 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 that they have been residing together for the last two years. Therefore, she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 8.

In view of the above, 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. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 638/2021, registered at Police Station Vikaspuri, Delhi for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
