Complainant / respondent No.2 is present with counsel 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 `2.5 lacs by way of demand draft bearing No.014333 dated 23.02.2018 drawn on AXIS Bank has been given to the complainant in the Court today. Copy of which has been placed on record.
