JUDGMENT

2. Respondent no. 2 present with her counsel and identified by IO/ASI Bharat Sharma accepts notice. Learned APP accepts notice and submits that State has no serious objection to this petition.
3. I have spoken with the parties in Hindi. It is stated by them that they have resolved all disputes amicably with the intervention of common CRL.M.C. 4180/2025 pages relatives. It is informed by them that marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 now stands dissolved by decree of divorce and no child was born from their marriage. Respondent no. 2 submits that she has received full and final settlement amount in lieu of her entire stridhan and alimony. Respondent no. 2 submits that she does not wish to pursue the prosecution of petitioners.
4. Having spoken with the parties, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push them through trial.
5. Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 356/2024 of PS Farsh Bazar for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
