% 04.12.2018 Notice.
Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.
Respondent no.2 Ms.
Jasminder Kaur is present in Court along with her counsel and accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Lalit Kumar of police station DBG Road.
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 Compromise Deed dated 19th July, 2018. Respondent no. 2 further submits that her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 16th November,
2018 passed by the Family Courts, Patiala House Courts, New Delhi. Petitioner no. 1 has paid `13,00,000/- to the respondent no. 2, vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record. Respondent no. 2 says that entire settled amount of `29,00,000/- stands paid with this payment and she has no objection in case FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 and 3.
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, FIR no. 620/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station D.B.G. Gupta and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.
