It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Delhi Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. (2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court and is identified by the Investigating Officer. I have enquired from the CRL.M.C. 1917/2017

In the interest of justice and to put an end to the litigation and to enable the parties to settle in life after divorce, FIR No.990/2014 registered under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC at Police Station Ranhola and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
