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 taken place. Pursuant to the settlement, remaining amount of `3 lacs by way of demand draft bearing No.514718 dated 22.03.2018 drawn on Oriental Bank of Commerce has been given to the complainant in the Court today.

Let the goods be released to the complainant.

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.184/2016 registered under Sections 498A/406 IPC at PS Dwarka North and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.

5.
