O R D E R
% 07.08.2018 Respondent no. 3 is daughter of respondent no. 2. Respondent nos. 2 and 3 are present in Court and have been identified by SI Praveen Kumar of police station Mandawali Fazalpur. FIR no. 130/2008 under Sections 363/368/342/506 IPC was registered at police station Mandawali Fazalpur on the complaint of respondent no. 2. Respondent no. 2 has alleged in the FIR that his daughter, that is, respondent no.3 was missing from the house. Respondent no. 2 further alleged in FIR that he suspected that petitioner had taken away respondent no. 3 with him after enticing her. He along with police official visited the house of petitioner and found his daughter under
the bed. Respondent no. 2 gave the age of respondent no. 3 as 15 years and 7 months. It is submitted that petitioner and respondent nos. 2 and 3 have settled the matter amicably. It is submitted that marriage of petitioner with respondent no. 3 has been solemnized after she attained majority. Presently, petitioner and respondent no. 3 are living together, inasmuch as three children have born from their wedlock. It is submitted that marriage was solemnized with the consent of respondent no.2. Respondent nos. 2 and 3 say that they have no objection in case FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner and private respondents 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.
