1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode. W.P.(CRL) 2166/2026

2. By way of the present petition filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BNSS’) read with Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 0756/2024, registered at Police Station Keshav Puram,, New Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/509/323/354/34 of the Indian Penal Code,1860 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘IPC’), along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom, on the basis of an amicable settlement arrived at between the parties.

3. The Petitioners and Respondent No.2 are present before this Court and have been identified by the Investigating Officer (IO) concerned.

4. Briefly stated,the marriage between Petitioner No.1 and Respondent No.2 was solemnized according to Hindu rites and customs. No child was born out of the said wedlock. Subsequently, on the complaint of Respondent No.2, a case was registered at P.S. Keshav Puram, Delhi, under Sections 498- A/406/509/323/354/34 IPC.Thereafter, on 23.12.2025, the parties amicably settled all their disputes and differences before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi.

5. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that as per the settlement, Petitioner No.1 has agreed to pay a total sum of ₹5,25,000/- to Respondent No.2 towards full and final settlement of all her claims. He submits that the balance amount has been handed over to Respondent No.2 today in Court by way of Demand Draft bearing No.009529. It is further submitted that, with the said payment, the terms and conditions of the settlement stand fully complied with and nothing further remains to be paid by either party under the settlement.

6. On a query made by this Court, Respondent No.2, who has been duly identified by the IO, categorically states that she has entered into the settlement out of her own free will, without any force, coercion or undue influence. She further states that the entire settled amount has been received by her and that she has no surviving claim whatsoever against the Petitioners. She has no objection if the present FIR and all proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

7. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved all their disputes, the marriage already stands dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent, the entire settlement amount has been paid, and Respondent No.2 has no objection to the quashing of the FIR, no useful purpose would be served in continuing the criminal proceedings. Rather, continuation thereof would only perpetuate unnecessary litigation between the parties. There is no legal impediment to quashing the FIR in the facts and circumstances of the present case.

8. Accordingly, FIR No. 0756/2024, registered at Police Station Keshav Puram, New Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/509/323/354/34 of IPC, and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, are hereby quashed.
