HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 04.09.2018 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2-Smt. Shazia Khatoon is present in Court along with her counsel, who accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Dhan Singh of police station Subzi Mandi.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with petitioner no. 1 of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion.

Petitioner no. 1 has paid `1.25 lacs to the respondent no. 2 today in Court, vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 says that entire settled amount of `2.25 lacs stands paid with this payment and she has no objection in case FIR No. 247/2010

under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at police station Subzi Mandi is 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 petitioner no.1 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 the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed, subject to encashment of demand draft. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous.

Dasti.
