Respondent No. 2/complainant has been duly identified by the Investigating Officer. 5. Learned counsel for the parties submit that the disputes between the parties have been amicably resolved. It is submitted that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been executed between the parties on 16.04.2026, and the same is already on record. It is further submitted that the parties have decided to solemnize their marriage after the quashing of the present FIR and that nothing further remains to be adjudicated between them. 6. On a query made by this Court, Respondent No. 2, who has been duly identified by the Investigating Officer, states that she has entered into the settlement voluntarily, of her own free will and without any force, coercion or undue influence. She further states that she has no objection if the present FIR and all consequential proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 7. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved all their disputes and have decided to continue their relationship, no useful purpose would be served by continuing the criminal proceedings. Rather, continuation thereof would amount to an abuse of the process of law. There is no legal impediment to quashing the FIR in the facts and circumstances of the present case. 8. Accordingly, FIR No. 95/2026 dated 25.03.2026, registered at Police Station Jamia Nagar, South East District, Delhi, under Sections 69 and 351 BNS, and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 9.
