This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioner as well as the respondent no.2, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid MoU dated 07.08.2026, wherein it is recorded that the petitioner has already paid a total settlement amount of Rs.1,50,000/- to the respondent no.2 as full and final settlement of all her present, past and future claims including alimony, maintenance, etc. In fact, the marriage inter-se the respondent no.2 and petitioner has since been dissolved by mutual consent under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and as such, the parties have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes. Respondent no.2 hence submits that she does not wish to continue with the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner. 7. The petitioner and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer. 8. As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioner and the respondent no.2 is the basis of filing the present petition, which is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect. In view thereof, the present is a fit case for quashing the aforesaid FIR. Accordingly, as also following the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) 10 SCC This is a digitally signed order.

Therefore, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.58/2018 dated 02.02.2018 registered at PS.: Nihal Vihar, Outer District, Delhi under Sections 498A/406/34 of IPC as also all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed. 10.
