Present writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.222/2013 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 D.P.Act at PS New Usmanpur. It is stated that the matter

has been settled amicably with the complainant / respondent No.2 before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi vide settlement agreement dated 20.01.2014.

2.

Complainant / respondent No.2 is present with counsel and has been identified by the Investigating Officer. I have enquired from the complainant if she has settled the dispute with the petitioners amicably without any fear or pressure. She has informed that all the disputes between the parties have been resolved amicably with her free consent and they are living together since February, 2014. She has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question. 3.

The petition is supported by affidavits of the parties. Since the dispute between the parties has been settled and the complainant is residing with the petitioners in the matrimonial home happily, no useful purpose will be served to continue with the proceedings. In the interest of justice and to enable the parties to maintain their matrimonial relations, FIR No.222/2013 registered under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 D.P.Act at PS New Usmanpur and all the proceedings arising therefrom are quashed. 4.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
