Respondent No. 2 is present in Court today and is identified by the learned counsel. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners. In terms of Joint Statement made before Principal Judge, Family Courts, Patiala House Courts, New Delhi on 31.05.2017, the CRL.M.C. 3297/2017

petitioner was required to pay a sum of ₹15,00,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Lakh only) to the respondent No. 2 at the time of quashing the FIR. She states that she has received a sum of ₹15,00,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Lakh only) through RTGS from the petitioner and she further states that no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioner and does not wish to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. 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.103/2011 for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/406/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at police station-CAW Cell Nanakpura, New Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed. The petition is disposed of.
