This is a petition under Section 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of BNSS seeking quashing of FIR No. 0343/2021, under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC, registered at Police Station Seelampur and proceedings emanating therefrom.

2.

It is stated that the parties have arrived at a settlement/MoU dated 06.01.2024 pursuant to which the petitioner no. 1 had to pay a total sum of Rs. 6 lakhs to respondent no. 2, out of which Rs 5 lakhs have already been paid and the balance sum of Rs. 1 lakh has been paid today in Court vide Demand Draft bearing no. 828685 dated 29.11.2024 drawn on Union Bank, Laxminagar, New Delhi.

dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent. 4.

Petitioner is present in Court and has been identified by his counsel, Mr. Raj Kumar.

5.

Respondent No. 2 is also present in Court and has been identified by her counsel, Mr. Nitish Kumar Yadav and Investigating Officer, SI Sudhanshu, Police Station Seelampur.

5.

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. 6.

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. 7.

In this view of the matter, FIR No. 0343/2021, under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC, registered at Police Station Seelampur and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

9.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
