In brief, as per the case of the petitioners, marriage between petitioner No. 1 and respondent No. 2 was solemnized according to Hindu rites and ceremonies on 05.11.2017. A male child was born out of the wedlock. Due to matrimonial differences, petitioner No. 1 and respondent No. 2 started living separately. On complaint of respondent No. 2, present FIR was registered on 14.07.2021. 4. The disputes have been amicably settled between the parties in terms of Settlement Deed dated 15.03.2023 and petitioner No. 1 and respondent No. 2 are residing together. 5. Learned APP for the State submits that in view of amicable settlement between the parties, she has no objection in case the FIR in question is quashed. 6. Petitioners and respondent No. 2 are present in person and have been identified by SI Deepika, PS: Jaffarpur Kalan. 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. 2 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. 7. 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. The chances of conviction are bleak in view of amicable settlement between the parties. Consequently, FIR No. 99/2021 under Sections 498A/406/506/34 IPC registered at P.S.: Jafarpur Kalan and proceedings emanating therefrom stand quashed.
