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. Pursuant to the settlement, she has got the settled amount i.e. a demand draft No.098504 dated 01.10.2016 of `1 lac in the Court today. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted.
