born out of the said wedlock. Due to temperamental differences, which had arisen between the parties, both the parties started residing separately since 10.03.2020. Thereafter, respondent no. 2 had filed a written complaint before the CAW Cell, culminated into the present FIR against the petitioners under the relevant sections. During the pendency of the trial, with the intervention of friends and family members, both the parties have now amicably settled their disputes before Counselling Cell, Family Courts, Delhi vide Settlement Deed dated 08.07.2025, entered between them. It is stated that as per the terms of settlement, both the parties have dissolved their marriage by way of mutual consent from the concerned Court. 5.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2, who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated by respondent no. 2 that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties and that she has received a sum of Rs.4,50,000/- by way of Demand Draft bearing no. 031206 dated 06.11.2025, drawn on Axis Bank, Bhiwani (Haryana) towards the remaining payment, as per settlement, therefore, she has no objection, if the present FIR is quashed.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 7.
