% 05.12.2024 1.

This is a petition filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking quashing of FIR No. 1072/2014, dated 03.12.2014, registered at Police Station Dabri, Delhi under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC, 1860 and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, if any. 2.

During the pendency of the parties, the parties have arrived at a settlement on 16.05.2024 by executing a Memorandum of Understanding, wherein the parties have settled all their disputes. There is no child born out of the wedlock.

3.

Mr. Jwala Singh (since deceased) who is the husband of respondent no. 2, expired on 04.12.2019 and the family members of the deceased i.e. petitioner nos. 1- 3, namely Mr. Rajesh Singh (petitioner no. 1), Mrs. Bhagwati (petitioner no.2), and Mrs. Suman Devi (petitioner no. 3) are The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

present in court and are identified by their counsel, namely, Mr. Kishore, Adv.

4.

Respondent No. 2 i.e. Mrs Jyoti Singh is also present in Court and has been identified by the Investigating Officer SI Teena Phogat, P.S. Dabri. 5.

The parties state that they have entered into the aforesaid settlement out of their own free will, volition and without any threat, force, undue influence or coercion.

6.

Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure the ends of justice. This court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings are permitted to be prosecuted any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings. 7.

In this view of the matter, FIR No. 1072/2014, dated 03.12.2014, registered at Police Station Dabri, Delhi under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC, 1860 and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, if any are hereby quashed.

8.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
