and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO) concerned, Police Station, Bindapur, Delhi.

¶17

Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between the petitioner no. 1 and the respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Delhi on 07.06.2013, in accordance with Hindu rites and ceremonies. It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no. 2. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is also stated that there was one child born out of the said wedlock and is in the custody of the mother/respondent no. 2. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 25.07.2024 executed at Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi.

¶18

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated that she has received a sum of Rs. 4,00,000/- vide Demand Draft (DD) bearing no. 013546 dated 03.02.2026 drawn on Indusind Bank. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.

¶19

In view of the above, that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, and without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.
