O R D E R

% 31.07.2018 Notice. Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no.1. Respondent no.2 is also present in Court and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Prabhakaran of police station Chhawla.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled her disputes with petitioner no.1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion before the Counselling Cell, Family Courts, Dwarka Court, New Delhi. Her marriage with petitioner no. 1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent on 9th March, 2018 passed by the Family Courts, Dwarka, New Delhi. Petitioner no.1 has paid `2.70 lacs to the respondent no.2 today in Court vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record.

Respondent no.2 submits that entire settled

amount, that is, `8.20 lacs stands paid with this payment and she has no objection in case FIR No. 152/2016 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at police station Chhawla and the consequent proceedings are 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, 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.
