On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that 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, without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.

Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that after lodging of the present complaint, on the basis of which the present FIR was registered, the parties were married and since they are living together, the FIR bearing No. 72/2021, registered at Police Station Patel Nagar, New Delhi for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 363/366/376 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
