Under the settlement, the petitioners undertook to make a payment of Rs.5.25 lacs to respondent no.2. Out of which Rs.4.25 lacs already stands paid. The petitioners had tendered a pay order for Rs.1.00 lacs towards the balance amount to respondent no.2 in court today, which is accepted by respondent no.2. Respondent no.2 states that she does not wish to pursue her complaint any further and joins the prayer for quashing the FIR and the proceedings arising therefrom.
