% 18.01.2019 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Ms. Shilpa Jain is present in Court and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Ranjit Singh of police station Roop Nagar. It is submitted that petitioner no.1 (husband) and respondent no. 2 (wife) have started living together after settling their disputes amicably; therefore, FIR No. 91/2018 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Roop Nagar on the complaint of respondent no. 2 may be quashed.

Respondent no. 2 submits that she has settled the matter with petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure

or coercion.

Respondent no. 2 further submits that she is living with petitioner no. 1 and presently she has no grievance against him or his family members. Respondent no. 2 says that she has no objection in case aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against petitioner no.1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 5. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 is also on record.

Keeping in mind that husband and wife have started living together after resolving their differences, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
