HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

% 30.11.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 Ms. Paramsheela is present in Court and accepts notice. She has been identified by ASI Jai Bhagwan Pal Singh of police station Vijay Vihar.

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 before the Delhi Mediation Centre, Rohini District Courts, Delhi on 30th August, 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 19th April, 2018 passed by the Family Courts, North-West District, Rohini Courts, Delhi. Respondent no. 2 says that she has received the entire settled amount of `80,000/- and she has no objection in case FIR no.1681/2017 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Vijay Vihar and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 6. 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.

A.K. PATHAK, J.
