1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode. CRL.M.A. 15285/2026 (for exemption)
2. Allowed, subject to all just exceptions. Accordingly, the application stands disposed of. CRL.M.C. 3762/2026
3. By way of the present petition, the Petitioners are seeking quashing of FIR No. 649/2014, registered at Police Station Welcome Colony, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 406 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘IPC’) and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘DP Act’), and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom on the basis of the settlement arrived at between the parties.
4. Issue notice. The learned APP accepts notice on behalf of the State.
5. The Petitioners and Respondent No. 2 are present before this Court and have been duly identified by their respective counsel and the Investigating Officer (IO).
6. Briefly, Petitioner No. 1 and Respondent No. 2 were married on 05.12.2004 according to Muslim rites and ceremonies and three children were born out of the wedlock. Owing to matrimonial disputes between the parties, the aforesaid FIR came to be registered against the Petitioners. Upon completion of investigation, the chargesheet was filed and the proceedings are pending before the concerned Trial Court. During the pendency of the proceedings, the parties amicably resolved their disputes vide Compromise Deed dated 06.05.2026. Petitioner No. 1 and Respondent No. 2 have also agreed to live together and not to continue the litigation.
7. On a query made by this Court, Respondent No. 2, who has been identified by the IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into the compromise vide Compromise Deed dated 06.05.2026, out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.
8. In view of the above, considering that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will and without any coercion, no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.
9. Accordingly, FIR No. 649/2014 registered at Police Station Welcome Colony, Delhi, for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 406 and 34 of the IPC and Section 4 of the DP Act, along with all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom, is hereby quashed.
10. The present petition is disposed of. Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
11. A copy of the order be communicated to the concerned Trial Court for necessary information and compliance.
12. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. MADHU JAIN, J SEPTEMBER 7, 2026/ys/m
