1. The present petition filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, [“BNSS”] (erstwhile Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, [“Cr.P.C.”]) seeks quashing of FIR No. 339/2024 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, [“IPC”] at P.S. Ambedkar Nagar and all other proceedings emanating therefrom.

2. Petitioner No. 1 is the husband of Respondent No. 2. Petitioners No. 2 to 4 are the in-laws of Respondent No. 2. The marriage between Petitioner No. 1 and Respondent No. 2 was solemnized on 13^th March, 2019 as per Hindu rites and ceremonies. Parties have no children from this marriage. Due to matrimonial discord, the relationship between the parties deteriorated, leading to separation in February, 2023. Several efforts for reconciliation were made but to no avail.

3. Subsequently, Respondent No. 2 made a complaint against Petitioners, alleging that she was subjected to cruelty by them, which later culminated into the impugned FIR.

4. The parties have now amicably settled between the parties on their own free will, without any coercion, pressure or undue influence. In furtherance thereof, the present petition has been filed seeking quashing of FIR. On 30^th April, 2025, this Court had passed the following order:

“1. The instant writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (earlier Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) seeks quashing of FIR No. 339/2024 under Sections 498A, 406 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, registered at P.S. Ambedkar Nagar. The said request has been made on the basis of an amicable settlement between the parties.

2. The present matter was called out on the board on its turn in the morning session, however, there was no appearance on behalf of the Petitioner. In the post lunch session, counsel for Respondent No. 2 – the Complainant has appeared along with the Complainant in person.

3. Respondent No. 2 (Complainant) states that even though she has recorded her statement before the Joint Registrar of this Court on 7^th April, 2025, giving no objection to the quashing of the FIR, she revokes her consent as she is not agreeable to quashing of the FIR. She states that as per the terms of the settlement, the parties had agreed to live together in the matrimonial home of Respondent No. 2, however, when she intended to resume her matrimony with Petitioner No. 1, he again asked her to leave the house. As a result, the subject FIR should be prosecuted.

4. Since, there is no appearance on behalf of the Petitioner today, in the interest of justice, no adverse orders are passed.
