Complainant / respondent No.3 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 petitioner 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 `4 lacs by way of demand draft bearing No. 435861 dated 09.03.2017 drawn on State Bank of India been given to the complainant in the Court today. 3.

The petition is supported by affidavits of the parties. Copy of settlement agreement dated 27.02.2016 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.963/2014 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 at PS Jyoti Nagar and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 4.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
