3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the parties have
settled their disputes before the Counselling Cell, Family Court,
Rohini on 21.07.2018.
4. As per the settlement, parties have reconciled the disputes and
Petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 have started living together
amicably as husband and wife.
5. The respondent No.2 is present in person, represented by
counsel and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She submits that
she has amicably resolved the disputes with her husband and they are
now cohabiting together. She submits that she does not wish to press
charges against the petitioners and has no objection to the quashing of
the subject FIR.
6. In view of the fact that the disputes between the parties have
been settled and Petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 have started
living together, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an
exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute
between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the
ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient
to quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating
therefrom.
7. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No. 442 of
2017 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station
