% 31.05.2017 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.1062/2014 registered under Sections 498-A/406 IPC at Police Station Mandawali. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi. (2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court along CRL.M.C. 2373/2017

with her counsel. The Investigating Officer present in the court has identified her. I have enquired from the complainant whether the 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 demand draft bearing No.002289 dated 20.05.2017 for the sum of `75,000/- drawn on HDFC Bank has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Settlement/Compromise deed dated 11.05.2016 signed by the parties before Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts is on record. (4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.

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.1062/2014 registered under Sections 498-A/406 IPC at Police Station Mandawali and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
