complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioner. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Settlement Deed dated 09.05.2025.

5.

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. Therefore, she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 6.

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. 7.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 529/2024, registered at Police Station Kanjhawala, for the offences punishable under Sections 420/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed subject to the petitioners depositing a sum of Rs. 10,000/- each with Delhi High Court Bar Association Advocates' Welfare Fund and the compliance report of the same be deposited with the Registry of this Court. 8.

The petition stands disposed of.
