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. Marriage between the parties has been dissolved. Pursuant to the settlement, remaining amount of `5,00,000/- by way of demand drafts bearing Nos.069847, 069824, 069871 for the sum of `1,00,000/-, `2,00,000/- and `2,00,000/- and dated 14.03.2018, 12.03.2018 and 15.03.2018 respectively, drawn on HDFC Bank in the name of the complainant have been given her today in the Court. 3.

The petition is supported by affidavits of the parties. Copy of settlement agreement dated 14.10.2017 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 dissolution of marriage, FIR No.396/2013 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 registered at Police Station Seelampur and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed.

4.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
