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.874/2016 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC at PS Nand Nagri. It is stated that the matter has been settled amicably with the complainant / respondent No.2 before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Shahdara District, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi vide order dated 09.01.2018.

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 `40,000/- by way of demand draft bearing No.012182 dated 03.02.2018 drawn on HDFC Bank has been given to the complainant in the Court today. 3.

The petition is supported by affidavits of the parties. Copy of order dated 09.01.2018 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.874/2016 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC at PS Nand Nagri and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 4.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
