Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Delhi on 02.12.2014, in accordance with Hindu rites and ceremonies. It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no.

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. It is further stated that she has received the amount of Rs. 2,20,000/- vide Demand Draft (DD) bearing no. 185212 dated 14.08.2025. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 8.

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. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 256/2019, registered at Police Station Mahendra Park, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/506/354/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed; however, it is clarified that the rights of the minor The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
