custody of the respondent No. 2.
6.
As per the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in 'Ganesh vs. Sudhirkumar Srivastava' [(2020) 20 SCC 787], the settlement and this order shall not affect the rights of the minor child in claiming the rights of maintenance, inheritance, education, marriage etc. against either of the parties.

I am satisfied that the matter has been settled and the settlement is lawful. Since the parties have arrived at a settlement and no disputes are pending, I am convinced that quashing of the present FIR and the consequential proceedings emanating thereafter would bring peace and secure ends of justice.

In view of the above facts and since no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the present criminal proceedings, it is directed that the aforesaid FIR and the consequent proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.

With these observations, the present petition is disposed of.
