Brief facts of the case are that the marriage was solemnized between petitioner No. 1/husband and respondent No. 2/wife on 09.12.2020 according to the Hindu rites and ceremonies and no child was born out of the said wedlock.

7.

It is stated that the petitioner No. 1 and the respondent No. 2 have amicably settled all the disputes and differences between them vide Settlement Deed dated 04.01.2024 and it was inter alia decided that the petitioner No. 1 shall pay Rs. 6,21,000/- to the complainant in full and final settlement of all her claims, out of which Rs. 4,00,000/- has already been paid and a Demand Draft bearing No. 458035 for the remaining Rs.2,21,000/- has been handed over in the Court today.. The parties endorse the Settlement Deed and state that they have arrived at the Settlement without any fear and coercion and shall state bound by it. The parties have taken Divorce by mutual consent on 12.08.2024. 8.

The parties are present before this Court in-person today, and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer concerned. 9.

Today, the respondent No. 2/wife, who is present in the Court, states that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 10.

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. 11.

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