the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 06.10.2015 as
per the Muslim Customs and Usages and were living with each other. No
child was born from their wedlock. After some time, due to different
lifestyles and temperamental differences, both the parties could not reside
with each other and started living separately from each other. Thereafter,
due to temperamental differences between petitioner no. 1 and respondent
no. 2, the respondent no. 2 got the FIR registered against the petitioners
under the relevant sections.
6. It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present
matter vide Memorandum of Settlement dated 24.12.2024, entered between
them. In terms of the settlement, an amount of Rs.2 lakhs by way of
Demand Draft bearing No. 346291 dated 30.06.2025 has been handed over
to the complainant by the petitioners in full and final settlement of all her
claims.
7. On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been
identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that she has entered
into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion
or threat. It is also stated by respondent no. 2 that the entire dispute has been
amicably settled between the parties. Respondent no. 2 further states that she
has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.
8. In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their
differences of their own free will, without any coercion and no useful
purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would
create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in interest of justice
to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.
There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.
