further, 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.

under Sections 498A IPC, Police Station Adarsh Nagar, New Delhi
and the consequent proceedings emanating there from are quashed.
