CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 05.02.2019 Notice.

Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no. 1.

Respondent no.2 Ms. Chanderkanta is present in Court and accepts notice. She has been identified by ASI Devender Kumar of police station Uttam Nagar.

Respondent no.2 submits that she has settled the matter with petitioner of her own free will and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no. 2 further submits that she has no objection in case FIR no. 136/2003 under Sections 498-A/406 IPC registered at Police Station Uttam Nagar and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed

against the petitioner. Affidavit of respondent no. 2 to this effect is also on record at pages 13-15.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner 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, aforesaid FIR and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous applications are disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.

A.K. PATHAK, J.
