% 21.11.2016 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.207/2013 under Sections 406/498A/34 IPC registered at Police Station Ranhola. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Family Courts (West), Tis Hazari Court, Delhi. (2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court with her counsel and is identified by him. I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter CRL.M.C. 2999/2016

has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR.

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.207/2013 under Sections 406/498A/34 IPC registered at Police Station Ranhola and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
