Counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the marriage between the son of the petitioner No.1, namely Pawan Kumar and the respondent No.2 Smt. Neetu was solemnized on 08.03.2013 at Sonepat (Haryana) according to Hindu rites and ceremonies. Counsel further submits that thereafter due to temperamental differences, a misunderstanding had arisen between the parties which has resulted into the registration of the aforesaid FIR. Counsel further submits that after the registration of the FIR, the near
relatives and close friends intervened and the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and the same has been reduced into writing on 19th May, 2017. Counsel further submits that in terms of the said settlement, the respondent No.2 has joined her matrimonial home and now she along with her minor child is living with her husband Pawan Kumar at the matrimonial home and they are leading a happy and peaceful married life. Counsel further submits that since the matter has been amicably resolved between the parties and nothing further remains to be adjudicated between the parties, however, the present FIR is coming as hurdle in the peaceful life of both the parties and prays that the FIR in question and all proceedings arising therefrom may be quashed.
The respondent No.2/complainant, Smt. Neetu is present in Court today and has been identified by the Investigating Officer, SI Naveen, P.S. Aman Vihar, Delhi and also represented by her counsel. The respondent No.2/complainant admits that the matter has been amicably settled with the petitioners and the same has been reduced into writing on 19th May, 2017. She further admits that she along with her minor child is now living happily and peacefully with her husband without any kind of complaint or grievance. She further submits that the said settlement arrived at with the petitioners is voluntary and without any force, pressure or coercion and she does not want any further action qua against the petitioners and has no objection, if the FIR in question is quashed. Looking into the aforesaid facts and circumstances since the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and the respondent No.2 has joined her matrimonial home and now she along with her minor child is living with her husband (son of the petitioner No.1 herein) happily and
peacefully and nothing further remains to be adjudicated between them, to have peace in the life of the parties and to meet the ends of justice, I deem it appropriate to quash the aforesaid FIR and all subsequent proceedings arising out of the same. Consequently, of FIR No.533/2013, under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Aman Vihar, Delhi and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. Parties shall remain bound by the terms of the settlement.
