petitioner no. 1 and respondent no.2 have compromised all their matrimonial disputes. It is stated by respondent no.2 that towards full and final settlement of all her claims pertaining to her stridhan and alimony etc., she has received complete amount of Rs.6,00,000/- from petitioner no. 1; that marriage between her and petitioner no. 1 stands dissolved by way of decree of divorce and they have no issue born out of the wedlock. Respondent no. 2 submits that she does not wish to pursue prosecution of the petitioners. 4.

Considering the above circumstances and having spoken with the parties, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push the parties through trial.

Therefore, the petition is allowed and the FIR No. 704/2016 of PS Sangam Vihar for offence under Section 498A/406/506/34 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
