% 14.09.2016 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioner for quashing of FIR No.379/2003 under Sections 498-A/406/493/496 IPC registered at Police Station Patel Nagar. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts. (2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court. The Investigating Officer present in the court has identified her. I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioner amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. Pursuant to the CRL.M.C. 3367/2016

settlement `50,000/- (in cash) has been handed over to the complainant today in the court.

(3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Mediation Report dated 18.08.2015 signed by the parties has been placed on record.

(4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioner, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. 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.379/2003 under Sections 498-A/406/493/496 IPC registered at Police Station Patel Nagar and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petitioner is, however, burdened with costs of `20,000/- to be deposited with Prime Minister National Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition and all pending application(s) stand disposed of accordingly.
