Respondent No.2 is present in Court today and is identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer.

She states that she has no claim whatsoever remaining against the petitioner CRL.M.C. 4061/2017

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. 378/2010 under Sections 498A/406 IPC registered at PS Shalimar Bagh, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition alongwith applications is disposed of. SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J SEPTEMBER 27, 2017/ssc CRL.M.C. 4061/2017
