% 07.10.2016 (1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.42/2010 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Palam Village. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Mediation Centre, Dwarka Courts. 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 CRL.M.C. 3825/2016

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.521239 dated 01.10.2016 for the sum of `6,00,000/- has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. (3) The petition is supported by the affidavits of the parties. Settlement Deed recording settlement dated 04.02.2016 between the parties is on record.

(4) Since the complainant/Respondent No.2 has voluntarily settled the dispute with the petitioners, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. 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.42/2010 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Palam Village and all the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

(5) The petitioners are, however, burdened with costs of `20,000/- to be deposited with Prime Minister National Relief Fund within two weeks. The Registry shall ensure the compliance of the order. (6) The petition and all pending application(s) stand disposed of accordingly.
