Respondent No.2 is present in Court today and is identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners for a total settlement amount of Rs.2,00,000/- CRL.M.C. 2908/2017

with her own free will and choice without any threat, pressure and coercion as per Compromise Deed dated 15.07.2017. She further states that she has received the settlement amount of Rs.1,00,000/- in cash and Rs.1,00,000/- vide DD No. 815357 dated 14.07.2017 drawn at Syndicate Bank, M.A. College, Delhi from the petitioner No.1. She further states that she has no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioner and does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. A photocopy of demand draft is taken on record. 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.220/2002 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/494/406/34 IPC at Police Station I.P. Estate, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. The petition is disposed of.
