Respondent No. 2 is present in Court today and is identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. She states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners in terms of Joint Statement recorded on 27.08.2016 before Principal Judge, Family Court, Central District, Tis CRL.M.C. 4860/2017

Hazari Courts, Delhi. As per said statement, the petitioners were required to pay a sum of ₹60,000/- to the respondent No. 2 at the time of quashing the FIR. She states that today she has received a sum of Rs.60,000/- (Rupees Sixty Thousand only) through Demand Draft No.075536 dated 31.12.2017 drawn on Indian Overseas Bank, Model Town, Delhi from the petitioners and she has 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.832/2015 for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A/406/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Police Station-Burari, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

The petition alongwith pending application is disposed of. SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J DECEMBER 07, 2017/ssc CRL.M.C. 4860/2017
