CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 05.09.2018 Respondent no. 2-Taskeen Kohli is present in Court and has been identified by SI N K Singh of police station Sarojini Nagar. Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion before Delhi Mediation Centre, Patiala House Courts, New Delhi on 2nd May, 2018 in terms of Memorandum of Understanding dated 14th April, 2018. Respondent no. 2 further submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce dated 29th May, 2018 passed by the Family Courts, Patiala House Courts, New Delhi. She says that entire settled amount has already been received by her and she has no objection in case FIR no. 260/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Sarojini Nagar 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 no.1 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, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioners.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J SEPTEMBER 05, 2018 sm
