% 27.05.2015 Crl. M.A. No.8202/2015 (exemption) Allowed, subject to all just exceptions.

Application is disposed of.

W.P.(CRL) 1149/2015 Marital discord between the husband and wife had led to registration of present FIR no. 252/2013 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC at Police Station Punjabi Bagh against the petitioners. Petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably. They have decided to part ways,

inasmuch as have obtained a decree of divorce by mutual consent from the Family Court, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi.

Respondent no. 2 is present in Court and submits that she has no objection in case FIR is quashed. She further confirms that she has received entire settled amount from petitioner no. 1.

Keeping in mind that petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have decided to part their ways and have, in fact, obtained a decree of divorce by mutual consent, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping them entangled in the criminal proceedings. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR no. 252/2013 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Punjabi Bagh and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
