CRL.M.C. 1909/2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No. 362/2013 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Welcome Colony, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement has been arrived at between the parties in the matter. CRL.M.C. 1909/2017

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court today and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioner in terms of settlement dated 05.02.2014. She further states that she does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Statements of the parties have been recorded separately. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and of their own free will and without any coercion, pressure, and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. Consequently, FIR No. 362/2013 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Welcome Colony, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition is disposed of.
