% 14.09.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Ms. Sonia @ Jasmeet Kaur is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Ranbir Singh of police station Nangloi.

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, Tis Hazari Courts on 18th

January, 2018. Respondent no. 2 further submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 4th June, 2018 passed by the Family Courts, West District, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. Petitioner no. 1 has paid `75,000/- to the respondent no. 2, vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 says that entire settled amount of `1,50,000/- stands paid with this payment and she has no objection in case FIR no.783/2004 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Nangloi 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 application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
