O R D E R

% 03.08.2018 Respondent no.2 Ms. Divya Khanna is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by ASI Virender Kumar of police station Patel Nagar.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with the petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion, vide a Memorandum of Understanding dated 6th January, 2017. Respondent no. 2 submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 26th May, 2018 passed by the Family Courts, West District, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi.

Respondent no. 2 says that she has received the entire settled amount and she has no objection in case FIR No.

452/2016 under Sections 323/341/506/34 IPC registered at police station Patel Nagar and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 4. Keeping in mind te 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. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
