CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 20.08.2018 Respondent no.2 is present in the Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by ASI Ram Pal Singh of police station Pul Prahaladpur.

She submits that she has settled the matter with petitioner no.1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion before Delhi Mediation Centre, Saket Courts, Delhi on 3rd June, 2016.

Respondent no. 2 further submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 9th November, 2017 passed by the Family Courts, South District, Saket Courts, New Delhi. Respondent no. 2 says that she has received entire settled amount from the petitioner no.1 and she has no objection in case FIR no. 371/2014 under Sections 323/341/498-A/406/506/509/34 IPC registered at police station Pul Prahladpur and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that

is, petitioner nos. 2 to 4.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J AUGUST 20, 2018 sm
