Girish Kathpalia, J

1.

Petitioners seek quashing of case FIR No. 285/2023 of PS Baba Haridas Nagar Dwarka, New Delhi for offence under Section 498A/34 IPC on the ground that the complainant de facto (respondent no.2) has settled the dispute with the petitioners.

2.

Respondent no. 2 present in Court and identified by IO/ASI Suman Lata accepts notice. Learned APP accepts notice and submits that there is no serious objection to this petition.

3.

I have spoken with the parties in Hindi and it is submitted by them that all their disputes now stand resolved and they have been living together happily for more than a year. Petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 also have a daughter, currently aged about 6 years. Respondent no. 2 specifically submits that she is being paid due amount of maintenance and has received back all her stridhan. Since they are living together happily, respondent no. 2 submits that she does not wish to pursue prosecution of petitioners.
