% 20.11.2018 Amended memo of parties is taken on record.

Respondent no.2 Ms.Deepika is present in Court along with her counsel, who accepts notice.

She has been identified by SI Devender of police station Dabri.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner no.1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion.

Her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 17.05.2018 by the Family Courts, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi. Petitioner no.1 has paid `3 lacs to the respondent no.2 today in Court vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has

been placed on record. Respondent no.2 submits that with this payment she has received entire settled amount of `8,50,000/- and she has no objection in case FIR No. 616/2014 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at police station Dabri is quashed against the petitioner no.1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner no. 2 and respondent no.3.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping 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.
