O R D E R

% 25.07.2016 Petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 were married on 23rd February, 2012.

Disputes between husband and wife had led to the registration of present FIR No.139/2014 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC at Police Station Geeta Colony.

Petitioner nos.2 to 5 are the relatives of petitioner no.1.

Petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have settled their disputes on the terms and conditions as stipulated in the amicable mutual agreement dated 26th May, 2014. Petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have decided to part ways and have even obtained a decree of divorce by mutual consent from the Principal Judge, Family Courts, Shahdara, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi on 21st July, 2015.

Respondent no.2 is present in Court and has been

identified by the Investigation Officer ASI Ajay Pal of CAW Cell (East District).

She submits that she has already received the entire settled amount.

She does not wish to pursue the FIR and has no objection, in case, the FIR is quashed.

Keeping in mind the facts that petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have settled their disputes amicably and have obtained the decree of divorce, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the criminal proceedings pending.

In the interest of justice, the FIR No.139/2014 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Geeta Colony and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Petition is disposed of in the above terms.
