I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.

It is informed that pursuant to the settlement demand draft bearing No.006955 dated 02.01.2017 for the sum of `1,50,000/- drawn on ICICI Bank has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Memorandum of understanding/Settlement deed dated 07.05.2015 signed by the parties is on record.
