HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 18.07.2018 Notice. Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no.1. Respondent no.2 is also present in Court along with her counsel, who accepts notice. Respondent no.2 has been identified by SI Sudhir Jain of police station Sangam Vihar.

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. Her marriage with petitioner no.1 has already been dissolved by a decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 01.04.2017 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Courts, Patiala House, New Delhi. Petitioner no.1

has paid `70,000/- to the respondent no. 2 by cash. Respondent no. 2 submits that with this payment entire settled amount of `2.7 lacs stands paid and she has no objection in case FIR No. 915/2007 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at police station Sangam Vihar is 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 parties 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.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms.

Dasti.
