By way of the present petition, the petitioner seeks quashing of the FIR bearing No. 386/2012, registered at Police Station Jagat Puri, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Section 66 of the Information and Technology Act, 2000 (hereafter 'IT Act').

stated that there was irretrievable break down of the marriage, due to incompatible behavior, conduct and temperament of the parties. Accordingly, the parties to the petition have been living separately and they have not been able to live together or cohabited since then. Upon the 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 before the learned Family Court, Karkardooma Court, Delhi and their statement to the said effect were recorded by the concerned Court on 19.08.2013 and 28.01.2015. 4.

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 his own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 5.

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. 6.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 386/2012, registered at Police Station Jagat Puri, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Section 66 of IT Act and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to cost of Rs.30,000/- to be deposited by the petitioner with Advocates' Welfare Fund, Shahdara District, Delhi, within a period of seven days from date.
