Respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of FIR. The marriage of petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 has culminated in a divorce vide decree dated 8th May 2024. No child was born out of the wedlock. 5.
Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, the FIR No. 529/2019 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Vasant Kunj South and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
6.
Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 7.
