The application stands disposed of.

CRL.M.C. 9368/2024 3.

settlement of all her claims.

6.

A sum of Rs. 1 lakh already stands paid by the petitioner and the balance of Rs. 90,000/- has been paid today by the petitioner in Court today. Hence, no amount remains outstanding.

7.

The petitioner i.e. Mr. Deepak Kumar is present and has been identified by his counsel, namely, Mr. Dilip Anand, Adv. 8.

The respondent No.2 i.e. Smt. Lajwanti is also present and has been identified by SI Poonam Tomar, PS Vivek Vihar. 9.

There is no child born out of the wedlock.

10.

Both the 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.

11.

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 the ends of justice. This court does not see any fruitful purpose if criminal proceedings are permitted to be prosecuted 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 reasons noted above, FIR No. 61/2020, dated 19.02.2020 registered at PS Vivek Vihar under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC, 1860 and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, if any are hereby quashed.

13.

The petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. JASMEET SINGH, J NOVEMBER 29, 2024 / (MS) The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 07/12/2024 at 11:41:10
