ORDER
% 30.04.2026 CRL.M.A. 13455/2026 & CRL.M.A. 13456/2026 (exemption)
1. Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.
2. Application stands disposed of. CRL.M.C. 3309/2026
3. By way of the present petition, the petitioners seek quashing of the
FIR bearing No. 499/2017, registered at Police Station Jamia Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34/506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereafter „IPC') and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom on the basis of settlement arrived at between the parties.
4. Issue notice. The learned APP accepts notice on behalf of the State.
5. All the petitioners and respondent no. 2 are present before this Court and have been identified by their counsel and Investigating Officer (IO) concerned, Police Station, Jamia Nagar, Delhi.
6. Brief facts of the case are that the marriage between the petitioner no.
1 and the respondent no. 2 was solemnized at Delhi on 01.03.2016, in accordance with Muslim rites and ceremonies. It is stated that due to various differences, disputes and issues had arisen between the petitioners and the respondent no. 2. Upon the complaint by respondent no. 2, the present FIR came to be registered against the petitioners. It is stated that with intervention of the family and friends, the parties have now amicably settled their dispute vide Divorce Deed/Talaqnama dated 11.09.2019.
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 compromise out of her own free will and without any pressure, coercion or threat. It is also stated that she has already received the amount as per the said Divorce Deed. Therefore, she has no objection if the present FIR is quashed.
8. In view of the above, 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 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. 499/2017, registered at Police Station
Jamia Nagar, Delhi, for the commission of offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34/506 of IPC and all consequential proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
10. The petition stands disposed of.
11. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. DR. SWARANA KANTA SHARMA, J APRIL 30, 2026/vc/r
