been received by respondent No.2 in Court. She states that she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.

4.

The marriage of petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 has culminated in a divorce by decree dated 18th July, 2024. One female child was born out of wedlock.

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. 549/2022 PS North Rohini 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.

It is however made clear that the said settlement will not affect the rights of the minor child in future.
