% 23.04.2018 Crl.M.A.7326/2018 (exemption) Exemption is allowed subject to all just exceptions. 1.

The petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.249/2011 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC, Police Station Nangloi. 2.

The subject FIR emanates out of matrimonial discord.

Petitioner N0.1 is the husband of respondent No.2. Petitioner Nos.2 and 3 are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the respondent No.2. Petitioner Nos.4 and 5 are the sister-in-law of the respondent No.2. Petitioner No.6 is the relative of the petitioner No.1.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the disputes between the parties have been settled before the Counselling Cell on 24.10.2017.

The parties have already been divorced by way of a decree of divorce by mutual consent, passed on 23.01.2018. 4.

The respondent No.2 was to be paid a total sum of Rs.8,00,000/- in full and final settlement of all her claims. A sum of Rs.6,00,000/- has already been paid.

The balance sum of Rs.2,00,000/- has been paid to the respondent No.2 by way of demand draft No.988066 dated 22.03.2018 drawn on Punjab National Bank. 5.

The respondent No.2 is present in person, represented by counsel and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She submits that she has settled her disputes with the petitioners and does not wish to press charges against the petitioners and prosecute the complaint any further.

6.

In view of the fact that the proceedings emanate out of a matrimonial discord and the parties have fully and finally settled their disputes and the respondent No.2 has stated that she does not wish to press the complaint any further and the fact that the parties have already been divorced by way of a decree of divorce by mutual consent, passed on 23.01.2018, 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 there from.

7.

In view of the above, FIR No.249/2011 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC, Police Station Nangloi and the consequent proceedings emanating there from are quashed.

8.
