O R D E R

% 26.07.2018 Respondent no.2 Ms.Manju Bala is present in Court and accepts notice.

She has been identified by SI Gajendra Kumar of police station Uttam 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 memorandum of understanding dated 23.10.2017. Her marriage with petitioner no. 1 has already been dissolved by ex-parte decree of divorce dated 19.02.2016 passed by the Additional District Judge, Ludhiana. Respondent no.2 has accepted the same. Respondent no. 2

submits that with this payment entire settled amount of `1 lac stands paid and she has no objection in case FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 4.

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. 387/2013 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Uttam Nagar and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J JULY 26, 2018 ab
