W.P.(CRL) 783/2018 1.

Present petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.792/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Sagar Pur, Delhi. It is stated that the matter has been settled amicably with the complainant / respondent No.2 vide settlement agreement dated 24.01.2017. W.P.(CRL) 783/2018

2.

Complainant / respondent No.2 is present with her parents and has been identified by the Investigating Officer. I have enquired from the complainant if she has settled the dispute with the petitioners amicably without any fear or pressure. She has informed that all the disputes between the parties have been resolved amicably with her free consent and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question.

Divorce by mutual consent has already been granted. Pursuant to the settlement, remaining amount of `3,00,000/- by way of demand draft bearing No.040524 dated 01.02.2018 drawn on Axis Bank in the name of the complainant have been given to her in the Court today.

3.

The petition is supported by affidavits of the parties. Copy of settlement agreement dated 24.01.2017 has been placed on record. Since the dispute between the parties has been settled, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to enable the parties to settle in life after divorce, FIR No.792/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Sagar Pur, Delhi and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.

4.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
