% 17.08.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice.

She has been identified by W/SI Varsha Maan of police station Defence Colony.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, before Mediation Centre, Saket Courts, New Delhi on 05.05.2017. Respondent no. 2 says that she has no objection in case FIR No. 349/2015 under Sections 354/354-A/354-D IPC registered at Police Station Defence

Colony and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 to this effect is also on record. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner 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 the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Dasti.
