The marriage between complainant (respondent No.2 herein) and petitioner no.1 was solemnized on 14th February, 2024 as per Hindu rites. One child was born from the abovesaid wedlock. 5. However, on account of temperamental differences, the parties started residing separately since 10th March, 2024 and upon a complaint lodged by respondent No.2, the abovesaid FIR was registered. 6.

It is submitted that petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have obtained divorce on 07th May, 2026 and the petitioner no. 1 has paid the entire settlement amount of Rs. 10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs Only) and as per settlement, the petitioner no.1 has also returned all the jewelry articles and stridhan along with the scooty to respondent no. 2 as full and final settlement and as per the terms of the settlement the custody of the minor daughter shall remain with respondent no. 2 and the petitioner no 1 has no visitation rights.

Signed By:VAISHALI PRUTHI Signing Date:06.10.2026 16:26 Signature Not Verified CRL.M.C. 7446/2026 Page 3 of 3 8. Respondent No.2 confirms that the matter has been amicably settled with the petitioners without any force, fear, coercion and she has received the entire settlement amount and her istridhan along with the scooty and therefore has no objection, if the FIR No. 0292/2024 is quashed against the petitioners. 9. In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, especially, when dispute does not involve any public interest and is, primarily, private in nature. In any case, even the complainant does not wish to press any charges against the petitioners. 10. Accordingly, exercising inherent powers vested in this Court under Section 528 of the BNSS, it is deemed appropriate to quash the instant FIR. 11. Consequently, to secure the ends of justice, FIR No. 0292/2024, dated 30.10.2024, registered at P.S New Friends Colony, Delhi under Sections 498A/406/506/34 IPC, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby, quashed. Original affidavits of the parties, copies of which have been placed on record in the present proceedings, shall be submitted before the learned Trial Court, so that these become part of Trial Court Record and shall also be submitted to concerned SHO/IO within four weeks from today. 12. Petition is allowed and disposed of accordingly. 13. Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
