% 14.01.2019 CRL.M.A. 662/2019 Accused Devesh Kumar Singh and Geeta Singh are impleaded as petitioner nos.2 and 3. Amended memo of parties is taken on record. Application is disposed of.

CRL.M.C. 4181/2018 Respondent no.2 Ms. Rakhi Singh is present in court along with her counsel.

She has been identified by ASI Ombir Singh of Police Station Palam Airport.

Respondent no.2 says that she has settled the matter with petitioner no.1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion before the Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi, dated 05.08.2017.

Her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent passed by the Family Court (South West) Dwarka on 31st May, 2018. Respondent no.2 submits that she has received the entire settled amount of ` 4,00,000/- from the petitioner no.1 and has no objection in case the FIR No.220/2016 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC is quashed against the petitioner no.1 and his relative, i.e., petitioner nos. 2 and 3.

Affidavit of respondent no.2 is on record to this effect. Keeping in mind that respondent no.2 and petitioner no.1 have amicably settled their disputes, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping the present 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.
