This petition has been filed seeking quashing of FIR No.410/2022 registered at PS Ranjit Nagar, Delhi, under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC based on the settlement arrived at between the parties dated 15th February 2024 with the facilitation of the Delhi Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts, which is on record of this Court.

FIR.

5.

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.410/2022 registered at PS Ranjit Nagai, Delhi, under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

6.

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

7.

Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 8.

Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. Pending applications (if any) are disposed of as infructuous.
