Today the complainant/father of Ms.K is also present in the Court and he states that since his daughter has left the house of her own and returned of her own, he does not want to continue with the proceedings and the FIR No.1578/2015 under Section 363 IPC, PS Narela, Delhi registered at his behest may be quashed.

Since the complainant himself does not want to continue criminal proceedings on coming to know that his daughter Ms.K aged about 17 years was not kidnapped by the petitioner and that she has left the house of her own sweet will and no purpose would be served in continuing the proceedings against the petitioner.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and FIR No.1578/2015 under Section 363 IPC, PS Narela, Delhi and consequential proceedings arising therefrom are hereby quashed.
