14.03.2024 pursuant to which the petitioner No. 1 had to pay a total sum of Rs. 2 lakhs to respondent No. 2, out of which Rs 1,50,000 has already been paid and the balance sum of Rs. 50,000/- has been paid today in Court by way of demand draft No. 525547 dated 16.11.2024 drawn on Canara Bank. 7.

Both parties state that they have entered into the aforesaid settlement out of their own free will, volition and without any threat, force, undue influence or coercion. It is stated by respondent No. 2 that she has no objection if the FIR is quashed. There is no child born out of the wedlock. 8.

Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, 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 are permitted to be prosecuted any further. It is a fit case for quashing. 9.

In this view of the matter, FIR No. 7/2021, under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC, registered at Police Station - Baba Haridas Nagar and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. 10.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
