Under the settlement, out of the total settlement amount of Rs. 8,21,000/-, the complainant has already received an amount of Rs.5,00,000/-.

The complainant further states that she joins the prayer for quashing of the FIR in question.

Accordingly, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding further with the FIR in question and the proceedings emanating therefrom. The same are hereby quashed.
