CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 28.02.2019 Respondent no.2- Ms. Renuka Kumari is present in Court and accepts notice.

She has been identified by ASI Ali Haider of police station Jagarpuri.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioners of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, vide a Memorandum of Understanding dated 11th November, 2017. Respondent no. 2 submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 21st February, 2018 passed by the Family Court, Shahdara, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi.

Respondent no. 2 says that entire settled amount of

`5,00,000/- stands paid and she has no objection in case FIR no. 50/2017 under Sections 498-A/406/354/34 IPC registered at Police Station Jagat Puri and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 3. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, 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. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
