Oberoi, APP with SI Virender of P.S. Bawana Respondent no. 2 in person

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 15.05.2018 It is submitted that petitioners and respondent no. 2 are related to each other. Petitioners are brothers of husband of respondent no. 2. Husband of respondent no. 2 is missing right from April, 2006. FIR No. 562/2007 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC was registered at Police Station Bawana on the complaint of respondent no. 2. It is submitted that charges under Section 406 IPC only have been framed against the petitioners. Husband of respondent no. 2 is proclaimed offender in the proceedings. Respondent no. 2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioners of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no. 2 is

present in Court and has been identified by SI Virender of police station Bawana.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has no objection in case FIR is quashed against the petitioners.

Affidavit of respondent no. 2 is also on record at page 40, wherein she has stated that she has received the entire settled amount of `1,15,000/- and has no objection in case FIR is quashed qua the petitioners.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners 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 qua the petitioners only. Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Dasti.
