% 29.10.2018 1.

Vide the present petition, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.2490/2014 registered u/s 34/313/498A of the IPC at P.S. Shakarpur and all criminal proceedings emanating therefrom. 2.

Mr.D.P.Verma, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the marriage between the petitioner no.1 and the respondent no.2 was solemnised on 08.10.2013 whereafter, they were blessed with a son. However, due to temperamental differences, the couple started residing separately, whereafter the respondent no.2 lodged a complaint against the petitioners leading to the filing of the aforesaid FIR. 3.

Mr.Verma submits that after the registration of the FIR, the parties with the intervention of elders have resolved their differences for the welfare of their minor child and have been happily living together for the last four years. He therefore, prays that the aforesaid FIR and all

consequential proceedings emanating therefrom be quashed. 4.

All the petitioners and the respondent no.2 are present in Court and have been identified by the Investigating Officer. I have interacted with the respondent no.2 ,who states that she has voluntarily resolved all her differences with the petitioners and she is happily residing with petitioner no.1. She further submits that she does not want to proceed with the criminal case any further as it will hamper her peaceful matrimonial life. 5.

I have considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Keeping in view the fact that the parties have already resolved their differences and are now living a happy married life, interest of justice demands that the present proceedings be quashed and no useful purpose would be served in continuing with the present proceedings.

6.

Accordingly, in the interest of justice, the petition is allowed and the captioned FIR and all consequential proceedings are quashed, subject to the petitioners paying a sum of Rs.5,000/- to the Delhi High Court Advocates Welfare Trust within two weeks. A copy of the receipt of deposit of costs will be handed over to the Investigating Officer, who will produce the same before the Trial Court.

7.

The petition alongwith pending applicaltion is disposed of in the above terms.
