I have enquired from the complainant if she has settled the dispute with the petitioners amicably without any fear or pressure. She has informed that all the disputes between the parties have been resolved amicably with her free consent and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR in question.
Divorce by mutual consent has already been granted. Pursuant to the settlement, remaining amount of `2 lacs by way of demand draft bearing No.778831 dated 19.12.2017 drawn on Syndicate Bank in the name of the complainant have been given to the complainant in the Court today.
