% 16.09.2016 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.347/2013 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Bindapur. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Family Courts, Rohini. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted.

(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 CRL.M.C. 3393/2016

with the petitioners 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. It is informed that pursuant to the settlement demand draft bearing No594018 dated 1509.2016 drawn on Oriental Bank of Commerce for the sum of `1,50,000/-, has been handed over to the complainant today in the court.

(3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Settlement/Compromise deed dated 29.05.2013 signed by the parties is on record.

(4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioners, 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.347/2013 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Bindapur and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petitioners are, 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.
