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. 169/2021 under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC registered at P.S. Vasant Kunj South and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. 6.
Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement. 7.
Accordingly, the petition is disposed of. Pending applications (if any) are disposed of as infructuous.

It is however made clear that the said settlement will not affect the rights of the minor child in future.
