HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 01.03.2017 It is submitted that petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably before the Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi on 12th January, 2016 and started living together. Petitioner nos. 2 to 5 are relatives of petitioner no. 1. Respondent no. 2 is present in Court and has been identified by ASI Sukram Pal, P.S. Jafrabad. She submits that she has resolved the differences with her husband and is living with him for the last one year.

She submits that she is not willing to pursue the FIR any further and same may be quashed.

Keeping in mind that husband and wife have resolved their

differences and have started living together, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No. 704/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 registered at Police Station Jafrabad, which is at the investigation stage, is quashed. Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
