Application stands disposed of.

Crl.M.C.187/2017 1.

This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No. 274/2012 under Sections 406/498-A/34 IPC & Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act registered at Police Station Jyoti Nagar. It is stated that the matter has been settled amicably between the parties. 2.

Respondent No.2/ complainant, is present before the Court with

her counsel and is identified by the Investigating Officer. I have enquired from her whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has stated that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. It is informed that pursuant to settlement, Demand Draft bearing No.144336 dated 06.01.2017 for a sum of ` 2 lacs drawn on Central Bank of India has been handed over to the complainant in the Court today. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted. Settlement deed dated 17.12.2015 before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Karkardooma, Delhi, recording settlement between the parties is on record.

3.

Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioners, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to put an end to litigation and to enable the parties to settle in life after divorce, FIR No. 274/2012 under Sections 406/498-A/34 IPC & Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act registered at Police Station Jyoti Nagar and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 4.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.
