The petitioners and respondent no.2 are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO) concerned from Police Station Shalimar Bagh, Delhi. 6.

Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 27.06.2022 according to Hindu rites and ceremonies. No child was born out of the said wedlock. It is stated that due to temperamental differences, the parties started living separately since 05.01.2023. It is further stated that on the complaint of respondent no. 2, the present FIR was registered at the concerned Police Station against the petitioners under the relevant sections. However, it is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute before the learned Principal Judge, Family Courts, North-West District, Rohini, Delhi, Counselling Cell vide Settlement dated 28.03.2024 and that the parties have obtained decree of divorce, by way of mutual consent, from the concerned Court.

7.

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 entire settlement amount towards her past, present and future claims of maintenance and permanent alimony. 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. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 68/2024 dated 03.02.2024, registered at Police Station Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

10.

In view of above, the present petition stands disposed of. 11.

The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. DR. SWARANA KANTA SHARMA, J OCTOBER 15, 2025/ns The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
