Petitioner nos. 2 and 3 are present through VC and are duly identified by the IO.

Considering the above settlement between the parties and the chances of conviction of the petitioners being remote and bleak, there is no use continuing with proceedings of the present FIR as it would be a misuse of the process of the Court and an unnecessary burden on the State exchequer. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Consequently, FIR No. 113/2021 PS Paschim Vihar under Sections 498A/406/376/376D/34 IPC and proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Parties shall abide by the terms of settlement.
