O R D E R

% 31.08.2018 Respondent no.2-Ms. Jyoti Gupta is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Mahavir of Police Station Anand Parbat.

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, vide a Memorandum of Understanding dated 27th September, 2017. Her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 27th September, 2017 passed by the Family Courts, North-East District, KKD Courts, Delhi. she has no

objection in case FIR 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 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, FIR no. 119/2012 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Anand Parwat and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J AUGUST 31, 2018 rd
