I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Brief facts of the case are that deceased-Dev Kant Sharma got married with the petitioner about 9 years back prior to the occurrence and the deceased was working as a stamp vendor. The couple was having one son and one daughter and the petitioner was working as a teacher in a school. The petitioner was having strained relations with the deceased for the last 3 years and she was demanding divorce from the deceased. However, deceased-Dev Kant Sharma wanted to save the marriage and due to stress, the deceased committed suicide on 19.5.2015. Resultantly, present FIR was registered against the petitioner alleging that she compelled her husband to commit suicide.
Learned counsel for the petitioner and for respondent No.2 are ad idem that in view of the settlement effected between the parties, the present petition deserves to be accepted. It has also come on record that the aforesaid compromise is genuine and the parties effected the same without any undue influence or coercion.
