CRL.M.C. 9904/2024 1.
This is a petition filed under Section 528 of the BNSS, 2023 seeking quashing of the FIR No. 136/2021 dated 13.04.2021 registered at PS Geeta Colony under Sections 498A/420/34 of IPC. 2.

and cash as well (Rs. 1 lakh through DD bearing No. 000243 dated 16.12.2024 drawn on Bank of India and Rs. 30,000/- cash). 5.
The petitioner is present in Court and has been identified by Mr. Girish Bhardwaj, learned counsel. Respondent No. 2 is also present and has been identified by SI N Tia, PS Geeta Colony. 6.
Respondent No. 2 states that she has settled the matter and has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.
7.
Parties state that they have arrived at the settlement out of their own free will without any threat, pressure, coercion or undue influence. 8.
I am of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in prosecuting the FIR any further on the ground that the parties have arrived at a voluntary settlement and settled their disputes. 9.
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 as permitted to continue any further. It is a fit case for quashing. In this view of the matter, there is no reason to continue the proceedings.
10. For the reasons stated above, the FIR No. 136/2021 dated 13.04.2024 registered at PS Geeta Colony under Sections 498A/420/34 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
11. The petition is disposed of.
