Today, the complainant who is present in Court states that she has received all amounts due to her and has no objection if the FIR is quashed. 6.

In view of the above facts that the parties have amicably resolved their differences out of their own free will and without any coercion and also the fact that the present matter is a family matter, rather the same would create further acrimony between them.
