% 23.03.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.940/2014 under Sections 406/498-A/506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Vikas Puri. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Family Courts, Tis Hazari.

(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court along with her counsel. The Investigating Officer present in the court has CRL.M.C. 1204/2017

identified her.

I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.

It is informed that pursuant to the settlement demand draft bearing No.179798 dated 07.02.2017 for the sum of `2,50,000/- drawn on Vijaya Bank has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Memorandum of Understanding/Settlement deed dated 08.02.2016 signed by the parties is on record.

(4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioners, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to put an end to the litigation and to enable the parties to settle in life after divorce, FIR No.940/2014 under Sections 406/498-A/506/34 IPC registered at Police Station Vikas Puri and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petition and all pending application(s) stand disposed of accordingly.
