The marriage between Petitioner No. 1 and Respondent No. 2 was solemnized on 25.04.2008 as per Hindu rites and customs at Delhi. A child namely Sarthak was born out of the said wedlock. Due to temperamental differences Petitioner and Respondent No. 2 started living separately since 24.04.2011. As per averments made in the FIR, Respondent No. 2 was subjected to physical and mental harassment on account of dowry by the petitioners. Subsequently, FIR No. 85/2012, dated 12.03.2012 was lodged at instance of Respondent No. 2 at P.S Vijay Vihar, Delhi under section 498A/406/34 IPC. Chargesheet has since been filed under sections 498A/406 IPC against the petitioner. 3. During the course of proceedings, the parties amicably resolved their disputes before the Family Court on 07.04.2022 and in the terms of settlement, Petitioner and Respondent No. 2 obtained divorce by mutual consent.

They have been identified by their respective counsels as well as by the Investigating Officer SI Anil Kumar, from PS Vijay Vihar. 5. Respondent No. 2 confirms that the matter has been amicably settled with the petitioner without any force, fear, coercion and she has no objection if the FIR No. 85/2012 is quashed against the Petitioner.
6. In view of the settlement between the parties, learned Additional PP appearing for the State, also has no objection if the present FIR NO. 85/2012 is quashed.
7. In Gian Singh vs State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303, Hon’ble Supreme Court has recognized the need of amicable resolution of disputes by observing as under:-
"61. In other words, the High Court must consider whether it would be unfair or contrary to the interest of justice to continue with the criminal proceedings or continuation of criminal proceedings would tantamount to abuse of process of law despite settlement and compromise between the victim and the wrongdoer and whether to secure the ends of justice, it is appropriate that criminal case is put to an end and if the answer to the above question(s) is in the affirmative, the High Court shall be well within its jurisdiction to quash the criminal proceedings." 8. In view of the aforesaid circumstances and the fact that parties have put a quietus to the dispute, no useful purpose will be served in continuing with the present FIR No. 85/2012, dated 12.03.2012, registered at P.S Vijay Vihar, Delhi under section 498A/406/34 IPC and all the other consequential proceeding emanating therefrom. 9. In the interest of justice, the petition is allowed, and the FIR No. 85/2012, dated 12.03.2012, registered at P.S Vijay Vihar, Delhi under section 498A/406/34 IPC and all the other consequential proceeding emanating therefrom is hereby quashed. 10.
