CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANOJ JAIN

¶11

Petitioners herein seek quashing of FIR No. 651/2025 dated 07.10.2025, registered at Police Station North Rohini, Delhi, for commission of offences under Sections 85/316(2)/3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, (BNS), 2023 (corresponding Sections 498A/406/34 IPC), along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of compromise arrived at between the parties.

¶12

The marriage between complainant (respondent No.2 herein) and petitioner No.1 was solemnized on 05.12.2024 as per Muslim rites and customs. No child is born from the abovesaid wedlock.

¶13

However, on account of temperamental differences, the parties started residing separately and when a complaint was lodged by respondent No.2, it

resulted into registration of the abovesaid FIR.

¶18

Charge-sheet is yet to be filed.

¶19

With the intervention of common friends and relatives, parties have entered into a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 25.04.2026 and have been able to resolve all their disputes and have decided to part ways gracefully.

¶20

It is in the abovesaid backdrop that quashing is being sought.

¶21

Respondent no. 2 is present in person and she has been duly identified by her counsel as well as by Investigating Officer.

¶22

When asked, respondent No.2 submitted that the matter has been amicably settled and she reiterates the terms of settlement as recorded in MoU and does not seek any mehr or maintenance or alimony. She states that she and petitioner No.1 have already parted ways through mutual consent by way of Khula Talaq on 04.04.2026. She states that she has entered into settlement without any pressure, coercion and undue influence and, therefore, she would have ‘ no objection ’ if FIR in question is quashed. Her affidavit to abovesaid effect has also been placed on record.

¶23

In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, especially, when dispute does not involve any public interest and is, primarily, private in nature. In any case, even the complainant does not wish to press any charges against the petitioners.

¶24

Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 , it is deemed appropriate to quash the instant FIR.

¶25

Consequently, to secure the ends of justice, FIR No. 651/2025 dated
