% 01.11.2018 Notice.
Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.
Respondent no.2 Shiny Verma is present in Court and has been identified by Inspector Shiny Tomer of police station Crime (Women) Cell, Nanak Pura. Respondent no. 2 admits having settled the matter with petitioner no. 1 of her own free will, voluntarily and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no. 2 submits that her marriage with the petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 16th October, 2018 passed by the Family Court, South West District,
Dwarka Courts, New Delhi.
Petitioner no. 1 has paid `3,00,000/- to the respondent no. 2, vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 says that entire settled amount of `9,50,000/- stands paid with this payment and she has no objection in case FIR no. 155/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Crime (Women) Cell, Nanak Pura and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 5.
Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
