It is stated that the matter has been settled amicably with the complainant / respondent No.2 vide MOU dated 18.08.2015. 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 CRL.M.C. 1620/2016

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 granted. Pursuant to the settlement, all the payments have been received by the complainant.
