HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 31.05.2018 Notice. Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no.1. Respondent no.2 Ms. Manisha is also present in Court and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Ramesh of police station Sultan Puri.

Respondent no. 2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion before Mediation Centre, Rohini Courts, Delhi on 9th January, 2015.

Her marriage with the petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 17th May, 2016 passed by the Principal Judge, Rohini Courts, New Delhi. Petitioner no. 1 has paid `50,000/- to the respondent no. 2 today in Court vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record.

Respondent no. 2 says that with this payment,

entire settled amount stands paid and she has no objection in case FIR No.1928/2005 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at police station Sultan Puri is 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 petitioner no.1 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 the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J MAY 31, 2018/sm
