The marriage between complainant (respondent No.2 herein) and petitioner No.1 was solemnized on 02.06.2013, as per Hindu rites and customs. 3. 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. 4.

Respondent No.2 is present in Court and reiterates the terms of the settlement. Upon Court query, she submits that she has resumed matrimonial ties with the petitioners and is, presently, living with her husband. She submits that since she has, voluntarily, entered into settlement and is happy at her matrimonial home, she would have ‘no objection’ if FIR in question is quashed. 6. Investigating Officer is present in Court and confirms broad facts and identifies the complainant. 7. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose especially when the couple is now enjoying matrimonial bliss. Moreover, the dispute does not involve any public interest and is private in nature. 8. Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 528 of the BNSS, it is deemed appropriate to quash the instant FIR. 9. Consequently, to secure the ends of justice, FIR No. 821/2016 dated 04.11.2016, registered at Police Station Ranhola West, for commission of offences under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby, quashed. 10. The petition stands disposed of in aforesaid terms. (MANOJ JAIN) JUDGE JULY 2, 2026/da/sy Signed By:SONIA THAPLIYAL Signing Date:04.07.2026 12:36:53
