remaining amount of Rs. 2 lakhs is paid in Court today to the respondent vide DD No. 865449 dated 11.10.2024 drawn on State Bank of India. 6.

Parties are already divorced by decree of mutual consent and there is no child borne out of the wedlock.

Petitioner is present in Court and is identified by Mr. AK Sinha, learned counsel.

8.

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and is identified by Ms. Sushma Goel, learned counsel and SI Ankita Singh, PS Safdarjung Enclave. 9.

Parties state that they have arrived at the settlement out of their own free will, without any threat, pressure, coercion or undue influence. 10.

I am of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting the FIR any further on the ground that the parties have arrived at a voluntary settlement and settled their disputes. 11.

I am convinced that quashing of such proceedings on account of compromise would bring about peace and would secure ends of justice. The Court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings as permitted to continue any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings. 12.

For the aforesaid reasons, FIR No. 445/2021 dated 30.09.2021 registered at PS Pul Prahlad under Section 498A/406/506/509/34 IPC is hereby quashed.
