1. Petition under Section 528 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 read with section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the Petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No. 0061/2010 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC at P.S. Sultan Puri and all the proceedings emanating therefrom.
2. It is submitted that marriage of Petitioner No.1-husband with Respondent No.2-wife was solemnized on 19.11.2007 as per Hindu Rites and Customs. However, due to temperamental differences, Respondent No. 2 and the Petitioner No. 1 started living separately post 2007.
3. It is stated that on 02.03.2010, the basis of complaint filed by the Respondent No. 2, FIR No. 0061/2010 was registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC at P.S. Sultan Puri wherein the Petitioners were implicated.

5. It is submitted that with the intervention of family members, relatives and well wishers, Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2 have resolved their disputes and have decided to reside together. They have been living together for the last 3-4 years without any dispute and have sought quashing of the FIR on account of the settlement.
6. It is submitted by the parties that they have arrived at a settlement without any force, coercion and undue influence and pressure. The parties have endorsed the amicable Settlement and accepted the terms thereof voluntarily and have undertaken to remain bound by the Settlement. The Petition is supported by the Affidavit of the Petitioners as well as the Respondent No. 2.
7.
Learned Counsel for Petitioners submits that the parties have been happily living together for the last 3-4 years and no grievance against each other survives and since Respondent No.2 has already made a statement before the Court that she does not want to pursue the proceedings in FIR No. 0061/2010, the present Petition be allowed and FIR registered against the Petitioners be quashed.
8. Respondent No.2 is present and submits that she has no grievance against the Petitioners and also ‘no objection’ to the quashing of FIR. She affirms that she is happily living together with Petitioner No.1.
9. In view of the fact that the FIR in question was premised upon a matrimonial dispute between Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2, which has been amicably resolved and the fact that parties have been living together for last 3-4 years and also that Respondent No.2 has given ‘no objection’ to the quashing of FIR, no fruitful purpose would be served in continuing with the proceedings arising out of the FIR.

11. The present Petition alongwith pending Application, is accordingly
disposed of.
