On 26.07.2025, respondent No.2 visited the residence of petitioner No.1, where she was allegedly confined, abused, threatened and assaulted. Consequently, FIR No.251/2025 was registered on 31.07.2025 at Police Station Vikaspuri. Subsequently, the parties amicably resolved their disputes vide Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated 02.04.2026.

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 a compromise vide MOU dated 02.04.2026, out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed. 7.
