% 16.07.2018 Notice. Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no.1. Respondent no.2 is also present in Court along with her counsel, who accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Narender Singh of Crime (Women) Cell, Nanak Pura.

It is submitted that petitioner no.1 and respondent no. 2 have settled their disputes amicably vide Settlement-cum-Compromise Deed dated 13th May, 2016, therefore, FIR No. 145/2013 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at Crime (Women) Cell, Nanak Pura may be quashed.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with 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 20th March, 2017 passed by the Family Court, Dwarka Court, New Delhi. Petitioner no.1 has paid `50,000/- to the respondent no.2 today in Court vide a demand draft, photocopy whereof has been placed on record.

Respondent no.2 submits that with this payment entire settled amount stands paid and she has no objection in case aforesaid FIR is quashed against the petitioner no.1 and his mother, that is, petitioner no. 2.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 voluntarily, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served in keeping 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. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous.

Dasti.
