However, out of this wedlock, no child was born.

Due to some temperamental differences between the petitioner no.1

25.06.2012 and started residing separately.

7. The respondent No.2 lodged a complaint against the petitioners before

resolved all her disputes with the petitioners without any force and

the time of recording the statement of the parties in the second motion
petition, Rs.50,000/- was paid by the petitioner No.1 to the respondent

submits that the said FIR may be quashed.

not been filed.

the said FIR. Hence, to secure ends of justice, the FIR bearing
No.1371/2015, registered on 28.09.2015 with Police Station
Seemapuri Puri, District North East, Delhi, under Sections
498A/406/34 IPC and proceedings arising out of the said FIR are
hereby quashed.
