% 12.04.2018 1.

Petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.246/2003, under Sections 498A/34 IPC, Police Station Rohini, based on a Settlement. 2.

Subject FIR emanates out of a matrimonial discord. Petitioner is the husband of respondent No.2.

3.

Parties have settled their dispute amicably.

4.

By way of settlement, a total sum of Rs.15,00,000/- was agreed to be paid to respondent No.2 towards full and final settlement of all her claims. The entire amount of Rs.15,00,000/- has already been CRL.M.C.1820/2018

paid.

5.

Respondent No.2 is present in Court in person, represented by counsel and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She confirms that the settlement has taken place and further submits that the marriage between the parties has been dissolved by way of decree of divorce by mutual consent on 12.10.2017. She also submits that she does not wish to press her complaint any further. 6.

In view of the above and keeping in view of the fact that the FIR emanates from matrimonial discord and the parties have resolved their disputes amicably and respondent No. 2 does not wish to press her complaint, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient to quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom.

7.

Accordingly FIR No.246/2003, under Sections 498A/34 IPC, Police Station Rohini, and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
