HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 24.03.2017 It is submitted that petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably, inasmuch as their marriage has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent on 10th February, 2017 passed by the Family Courts, North West District, Rohini Courts, Delhi; therefore, FIR No. 72/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Crime (Women) Cell Nanak Pura, which is at the investigation stage, may be quashed. Petitioner nos. 2 to 5 are relatives of petitioner no. 1. Respondent no. 2 is present in Court along with her counsel and has been identified by ASI Dharamvir Singh, P.S. CWC Nanakpura. She admits having settled the matter

with the petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, coercion and pressure. She submits that she has received entire settled amount. She further submits that she is not willing to pursue the FIR any further. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the parties and that marriage between the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 has already been dissolved, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending.

Accordingly, FIR No. 72/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Crime (Women) Cell Nanak Pura, which is at the investigation stage, is quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
