The petitioner no. 2 and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court and all the remaining petitioners are being represented by the petitioner no. 2, who is a Special Power of Attorney holder and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Badli, Delhi.

6.

Brief facts of the present case are that the marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 18.06.2010 according to Hindu rites and ceremonies in Delhi. No child was born out of their wedlock. Due to temperamental differences, parties started living separately in the month of October, 2010. It is stated that on the complaint of respondent no. 2, the present FIR was registered at the concerned Police Station. During pendency of the case, both the parties had amicably settled their disputes vide Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 17.08.2018 and had obtained decree of divorce, by way of mutual consent, before the concerned Court.

7.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the 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 them vide MoU dated 17.08.2018. Respondent no. 2 further states she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 8.

In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, and 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. The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.

There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. 9.

Accordingly, FIR bearing no. 0429/2013, registered at Police Station Badli, Delhi, for commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

10.
