This petition has been filed for quashing of FIR No.284/2022 PS Hari Nagar under Sections 498A/406 IPC on grounds of settlement arrived at between the parties through the facilitation of the Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre dated 14th March, 2023 which is on record of this Court.

5.
Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, the FIR No.284/2022 PS Hari Nagar under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
6.
Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 7.
Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. Pending applications (if any) are disposed of as infructuous.
8.
It is however made clear that the said settlement will not affect the rights of the minor child in future.
