Adesh Kumar & Anr. v. State Govt. of NCT of Delhi and Anr.

1. Petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 416/2020 of PS Greater Kailash for the offence under section 498A/406/34 IPC. The quashing is sought on the ground that the complainant de facto (respondent no.2) has compromised all disputes with the petitioners.

2. The respondent no.2 in person (accompanied with her counsel) and learned APP for State accept notice. Petitioners present in person as well as respondent no.2 are identified by their respective counsel and the Investigating Officer/SI Arvind Kumar.

3. I have spoken with the parties in Hindi.

4. It is stated by the parties that they have compromised the matrimonial disputes and marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 already stands dissolved by way of decree of divorce. They have one son aged about 07 years and his custody shall remain with respondent no.2, though he shall be free to meet petitioners as and when desired by him and them. It is specifically stated by respondent no.2 that she has received full and final settlement amount towards her stridhan and permanent alimony. Respondent no.2 submits that she does not wish to pursue trial of petitioners.

5. Having spoken with the both sides, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice, not to push the parties through trial. State has no objection to the present petition.

6. Therefore, the petition is allowed and accordingly, FIR No. 416/2020 of PS Greater Kailash for the offence under section 498A/406/34 IPC and the consequential proceedings are quashed.
