% 21.03.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.695/2014 under Sections 498-A/406/354-A IPC and Section Dowry Prohibition Act registered at Police Station Mansarover Park. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Family Courts, Karkardooma.

(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court and is identified by the Investigating Officer present. I have enquired W.P.(CRL) 860/2017

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.439701 dated 02.02.2017 for the sum of `2,50,000/- drawn on Yes 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. Statements of petitioner No.1 and the respondent No.2/complainant recorded before Principal Judge, Family Courts, Karkardooma are on record.

(4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioners, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to put an end to the litigation and to enable the parties to settle in life after divorce, FIR No.695/2014 under Sections 498-A/406/354-A IPC and Section 4 Dowry Prohibition Act registered at Police Station Mansarover Park and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petition and all pending application(s) stand disposed of accordingly.
