HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 25.09.2018 Notice. Respondent no.2 Ms. Ashwani is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice.

She has been identified by SI Ramesh Kumar of police station Sultan Puri.

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.

Respondent no. 2 submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 6th August, 2018 passed by the Family Courts, North-West District, Rohini Courts, Delhi. Petitioner no. 1 has paid `2,25,000/- to the respondent

no. 2, vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 says that entire settled amount of `7,00,000/- stands paid with this payment and she has no objection in case FIR no.669/2017 under Sections 498-A/406/377/506/323/313/34 IPC registered at Police Station Sultan Puri and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 7. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 to this effect is also on record at pages 30-31. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Dasti.
