..... Petitioners Through:

Mr. S.K. Bhardwaj and Mr. Babit Kumar, Advs.

Mr. Izhar Ahmad, APP for State with SI Rahul, P.S. Hauz Qazi.

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 16.10.2018 It is submitted that after resolving their differences, petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have started living together for the last five years. Therefore, FIR No. 101/2009 under Sections 498A/406 IPC registered at police station Hauz Qazi may be quashed.

Respondent no. 2 is present in Court and has been identified by SI Rahul of police station Hauz Qazi.

She submits that she has settled the matter with petitioner no.1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion vide Compromise Deed dated 10.06.2013. She further submits that presently she has no grievance against petitioner no.1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 5 and has no objection in case aforesaid FIR and the consequent proceedings are quashed against the petitioners.

Affidavit of respondent no.2 in this regard has been placed on record. Keeping in mind that husband (petitioner no.1) and wife (respondent no.2) have started living together after resolving their differences, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous.

Dasti.
