% 13.09.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Ms. Laxmi is present in Court and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Manish Kumar of police station Vasant Kunj North. Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Patiala House Court, New Delhi on 2nd November, 2016. Respondent no. 2 says that she is living with petitioner no. 1 for the last about two years. Respondent no. 2 further says that she has no objection in case FIR no. 1099/2014 under Sections 498-

A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Vasant Kunj North and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 and 3. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
