It is submitted that the petitioner and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably and are now moving forward towards a peaceful and harmonious future.

4.

A No Objection Affidavit dated 09.10.2024 is on record and has been annexed to the petition. Qua this No Objection Affidavit, the respondent no. 2 has agreed to withdraw the case arising out of FIR No. 165/2018 registered at Police Station - Amar Colony against the petitioner wherein she stated in para 3 that during the pendency of this case, she got married and does not wish to pursue the matter in consideration of the health condition of the petitioner.

5.

It is prayed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties that the instant FIR may be quashed on the basis of the affidavit. 6.

On a query made by this Court, respondent no. 2 has categorically stated that she has entered into compromise on her own free will and without any pressure. It is also stated by her that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties.
