Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Bhajanpura, Delhi. 6.

Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 26.10.2022, according to Muslim rites and customs. No child was born from their wedlock. After some time due to different lifestyles and temperamental differences, both the parties started residing separately from each other since January, 2023. Thereafter, respondent no. 2 got registered the FIR against the petitioners under the relevant sections. However, it is stated that both the parties have now amicably settled their disputes by Mutual Settlement/Mubarat dated 19.09.2025, entered between them. 7.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned 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 also stated by respondent no. 2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties. Further it is stated that she has received the last payment due to her as per the said settlement of Rs. 6,50,000/- by way of Demand Draft No. 825300 drawn on State Bank of India. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 8.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, without any coercion and 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. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 0739/2024, registered at Police Station Bhajanpura, Delhi for the commission of offences punishable under Sections The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
