It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted.
(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court along with her counsel. The Investigating Officer present in the court has identified her. I have enquired from the complainant whether the CRL.M.C. 3604/2016
matter has been settled 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 `30,000/- (in cash) has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties.

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.466/2007 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Kashmeri Gate and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
