% 05.03.2018 Respondent no.2 Ms. Pooja is present in Court along with her counsel and has been identified by SI Suresh Kumar of police station Ambedkar Nagar. Respondent no. 2 admits having settled the matter with petitioner no. 1 of her own free will, voluntarily and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no. 2 submits that her marriage with the petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 21st November, 2017 passed by the Family Courts, South District, Saket Courts, New Delhi.

Respondent no. 2 says that she has already

received the entire settled amount and she has no objection in case FIR is quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 and 3.

Keeping in view the settlement arrived at between the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, FIR No.258/2015 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Ambedkar Nagar, which is at the investigation stage, is quashed. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J.
