Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Uttar Pradesh on 08.03.2019, in accordance with Hindu rites and ceremonies. It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and respondent no. 2. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Settlement Deed dated 06.08.2025. 4.
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. A demand draft bearing No. 013961, for an amount of ₹6 lakhs has been handed to respondent no. 2 by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner towards the balance compromise amount. Therefore, respondent no. 2 has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 5.
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. 6.
Accordingly, FIR bearing No. 002/2025, registered at Police Station Shahdara, Delhi for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of the IPC and Sections 3/4 of DP Act and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
