¶3Issue notice.

¶4Learned APP for the State accepts notice and submits that he has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶5Learned counsel for the respondent no.2 also accepts notice and submits that the respondent no.2 has no objection if the present petition is allowed.

¶6Respondent no.2, present in Court, also affirms the terms of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding dated 03.08.2026 and submits that she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

¶7The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials as on record, have been identified by the Investigating Officer.

¶8This Court has further had the occasion of interacting with the petitioners as well as the respondent no.2, who all are present in Court. They affirm the terms of the aforesaid Memorandum of Understanding dated 03.08.2026, whereby petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have expressed their clear intention towards resuming their matrimonial life and in pursuant whereof, are now residing together alongwith their minor children. As such, the parties have agreed to put a quietus to their disputes.

¶9As noted above, a settlement based on mutual terms between the petitioners and the respondent no.2 is the basis of filing the present petition, which is accompanied by their respective affidavit(s) qua the said effect. In view thereof, the present is a fit case for quashing the aforesaid FIR. Accordingly, as also following the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Jitendra Raghuvanshi & Ors. vs. Babita Raguvanshi & Anr.: (2013) 4 SCC 58, Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab & Anr.: (2012) The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above. 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.:

(2014) 6 SCC 466, and also since there is nothing left to corroborate and prove the case of the prosecution, continuation of the present FIR will be an exercise in futility.

¶10Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and FIR No.216/2022 dated 18.02.2022 registered at PS: Vikas Puri, Delhi under Sections 498A/406/34 of the IPC and all proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.

¶11As such, the present petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
