% 08.09.2016 Crl.M.A. 13420/2016 Exemption allowed subject to just exceptions. CRL.M.C. 3124/2016 By the present petition, the Petitioners seek quashing of FIR No. 286/2012 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Palam Village, Delhi on the complaint of Respondent No.2 as the parties have settled the matter.

Respondent No. 2 is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners. In terms of the settlement divorce by mutual consent has been granted between the petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 As full and final settlement of all the claims, that is, maintenance, streedhan and alimony etc., CRL.M.C. 3124/2016

Respondent No.2 is entitled to receive a sum of `3,35,000/- out of which she has already received a sum of `2,60,000/- and the balance amount of `75,000/- has been received by her today in Court by way of demand draft No.'529226' drawn on Syndicate Bank. She states that does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

Consequently, FIR No. 286/2012 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Palam Village, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.

The petition is disposed of. Order dasti.
