W.P.(Crl.) No.3073/2018 1.

By this petition, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.1466/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Narela on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that the parties have settled the matter.

2.

Learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State on instructions submits that in the above noted FIR the five petitioners are the only W.P.(CRL) 3073/2018

accused and respondent No.2 is the complainant/victim. 3.

Respondent No.2 who is present in Court and is identified by the learned counsel and Investigating Officer states that she settled the matter with the petitioners and does not wish to pursue the abovenoted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. She further states that she has not claimed any maintenance, alimony or streedhan from the petitioners and in future will also have no claim whatsoever against the petitioners. 4.

Petitioners who are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel affirm the statement of respondent No.2. 5.

In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion 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.

6.

Consequently, FIR No.1466/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Narela and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.
