Investigating Officer/SI Bheem Singh accepts notice. 4.

I have spoken with respondent no. 2 in Hindi and she states that she has compromised the matrimonial disputes with her husband petitioner no. 1 and the remaining petitioners. It is stated by respondent no. 2 that marriage between her and petitioner no. 1 stands dissolved by way of decree of divorce and there was no child born out of their wedlock. Respondent no. 2 further states that towards her entire stridhan and alimony, she has received full and final settlement amount of Rs. 7,95,000/-, out of which the last installment of Rs. 1,95,000/- has been received by her today by way of demand draft from the petitioners. Respondent no. 2 submits that she does not want to pursue prosecution of the petitioners. 5.

Having spoken with respondent no. 2, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push the parties through trial. 6.

Therefore, the petition is allowed and the FIR No. 224/2023 of PS Ambedkar Nagar for offence under Section 498A/406/506/34 IPC and proceedings arising out of the same are quashed. Pending application stands disposed of.
