Girish Kathpalia, J

1.

Petitioners  seek  quashing  of  case  FIR  No.  411/2024  of  PS  Welcome for offence under Section 498A/406/506/34 IPC and Section 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act on the ground that the complainant de facto (respondent no.2) has compromised the disputes with the petitioners.

2.

Learned  APP  for  the  State  accepts notice  and  submits that  State  has no objection to this petition.

3.

Respondent no. 2 identified by IO/SI Vikram Singh also accepts notice.

4.

Keeping in mind the nature of dispute, I have spoken with respondent no. 2  and she submits that  they  have settled all their matrimonial disputes and now they are living together happily since 01.09.2024. No issue was born from their  wedlock.  Respondent  no.  2 specifically states that  she  does not wish to pursue prosecution of petitioner.

5.

Having  spoken  with  respondent  no.  2,  I  am satisfied that  it  would  in the interest of justice not to push the parties through a full dress trial.

6.

Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 411/2024 of PS Welcome  for  offence  under  Section  498A/406/506/34  IPC  and  Section  3/4 Dowry  Prohibition Act as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
