Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner got married with respondent No.2 on 18.02.2006 according to Sikh rites and customs. He further submits that due to temperamental differences and misunderstanding arisen between them, the marital relations between them could not proceed further but consequently with the help of near relatives and close friends, they have amicably settled all their disputes and differences and their marriage has also been dissolved by mutual consent by a decree of divorce dated 06.06.2016 granted by the Principal Judge, Family

Courts, Shahdara, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi. He further submits that all disputes have been amicably settled between the parties and nothing remains to be adjudicated upon further and submits that the FIR in question is coming as hurdle in the way of the present petitioner.
