4. Learned APP for the State submits that in view of amicable settlement
between the parties, the State has no objection in case the FIR in question is
quashed.
5. Petitioners in person and respondent no. 3 (through VC) have been
identified by SI Sohan Lal, P.S.: Tigri. I have interacted with the parties and
they confirm that the matter has been amicably settled between them without
any threat, pressure or coercion. Respondent No. 3 also states that nothing
remains to be further adjudicated upon between the parties and she has no
objection in case the FIR in question is quashed.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances, since the matter has been
amicably settled between the parties, no useful purpose shall be served by
keeping the case pending. It would be nothing but an abuse of the process of
Court. Consequently, FIR No. 089/2022 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC
registered at P.S.: Tigri and the proceedings emanating therefrom stand
quashed.
Petition is accordingly disposed of. Pending applications, if any, also
stand disposed of.
A copy of this order be forwarded to learned Trial Court for
information and compliance.
