Present writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.562/2015 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC at PS Jagat Puri. It is stated that the matter has been settled amicably with the complainant / respondent No.2 before the Counselling Cell, Principal Judge, Family Court, Karkardooma, Shahdara, Delhi vide settlement deed dated 12.01.2017.

2.

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 `1 lac by way of demand draft bearing No.701306 dated 09.02.2016 drawn on Corporation Bank has been given to the complainant in the Court today.

The petition is supported by affidavits of the parties. Copy of settlement deed dated 12.01.2017 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.562/2015 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC at PS Jagat Puri and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 4.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
