Settlement Deed dated 24.07.2024 and agreed to reside happily together and since then they have been living together.

6.

The parties are present before this Court in-person today, and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer concerned. 7.

The present petition has been signed by the petitioner and is supported by the affidavits of the parties. The parties are living together happily and without any pressure and coercion.

8.

Today, the respondent No. 2/wife, who is present in the Court, states that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 9.

In view of the above facts that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will and without any coercion and also the fact that the present matter is a family matter, no useful purpose will be served in continuing with the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. Hence, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. 10.

Moreover, there is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

11.

Accordingly, FIR No. 0060/2021 for the offences under Section 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as 'IPC, 1860') registered at Police Station Gulabhi Bagh and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

12.

The Petition stands disposed of.
