CRL.M.C. 1399/2026

3. By way of the present petition, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR bearing no.63/2017, registered at Police Station Karawal Nagar, Delhi for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/506/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter ‘IPC’) and Section 4 Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (hereafter ‘D.P. Act’).

4. The petitioners and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court in person and have been identified by their counsels and concerned Investigating Officer (IO) from Police Station Karawal Nagar, Delhi.

5. Briefly stated, facts of the present case are that the marriage between petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 was solemnized on 21.02.2015 as per Hindu rites and ceremonies and were living with each other. It is stated that no child was born out of the said wedlock. After some time, due to certain matrimonial disputes which had arisen between the parties, they could not reside with each other and since the year 2016, petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have started living separately from each other. Thereafter, on the complaint of respondent no.2, the present FIR was registered against the petitioners under the relevant sections.

6. It is stated that both the parties have amicably settled the present matter before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi dated 23.12.2019, entered between them. It is further stated that both the parties have taken decree of divorce by way of mutual consent, from the concerned Court.

7. On a query made by this Court, respondent no.2 who has been identified by the concerned IO, has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. Respondent no. 2 further states that she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.

8. In view of the above fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will, without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served by continuing the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them. It would thus be in 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 bearing No. 63/2017, registered at Police Station Karawal Nagar, Delhi for the commission of offence punishable under Sections 498A/406/506/34 of IPC and Section 4 Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

10. In view of the above, the present petition stands disposed of.

11. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith.
