% 25.08.2017 The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of FIR No.405/2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Palam Village, Delhi on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that a compromise/settlement has been arrived at between the parties in the matter. Respondent No. 2 is present in Court today and is identified by counsel and the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners of free will and choice without any threat, pressure and coercion. She has received a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakh only) today through DD No.900926 dated 13.07.2017 drawn on CRL.M.C. 2742/2017

Punjab National Bank from the petitioners.

Statements of the parties have been recorded separately. In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences voluntarily and of their own free will and without any coercion, pressure, and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question. Consequently, FIR No. 405/2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Palam Village, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. The petition is disposed of.
