CRL.M.C. no. 2500/2017 It is submitted that petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably before Counselling Cell, Family Courts (West District), Tis Hazarti Court, Delhi on 8th March, 2016.

Out of total settled amount of `2,25,000/-,

`1,50,000/- has already been paid. Balance settled amount of `75,000/- has been paid by the petitioner no. 1 to respondent no. 2 in Court vide demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 is present in Court along with her counsel and has been identified by SI Brahm Prakash, P.S. Ranhola.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the parties and that marriage between the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 has already been dissolved, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, FIR No. 884/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Ranhola and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.
