Respondent no.2, present in Court, also accepts notice and affirms the terms of the aforesaid Settlement Agreement whereby the petitioner no.1 has already paid her a sum of Rs.5,50,000/- out of the total settlement amount of Rs.7,00,000/- and has further handed over a DD dated 18.12.2025 bearing No.00544 (Axis Bank, Branch Rani Bagh, Delhi) of Rs.1,50,000/- in Court to her today as full and final settlement of all her present, past and future claims including alimony, maintenance, etc. She further submits that her marriage with the petitioner no.1 has since been dissolved by mutual consent, and she has no objection to the quashing of the aforesaid FIR.

The petitioners and the respondent no.2, present in Court, as well as their credentials, as on record, have been identified by the IO. 6.

Since, a settlement has already been arrived at voluntarily between the parties, as also since, accompanying affidavit(s) of the parties involved have also been filed herewith, and the parties shall remain bound by all the terms and conditions thereof, 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) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Anr.
