CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 16.07.2018 It is submitted that husband (petitioner no.1) and wife (respondent no.2) have started living together after settling their disputes before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Court, Delhi on 30th September, 2014. Respondent no.2 is present in Court and has been identified by SI Vipin Kumar of police station Kalyanpuri. She admits having started living together with petitioner no.1 after settling her disputes with him, of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. She has no objection in case FIR No. 305/2009 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at police station Kalayanpuri is quashed against the petitioner no.1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 5. Keeping in mind that husband and wife have started living together

after ironing out their differences, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping them entangled in the criminal proceedings. 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.
