(1) Present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing of FIR No.743/2010 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Shakarpur. It is stated that the matter has been settled with the complainant/victim amicably before Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi.

(2) Respondent No.2-complainant is present before the Court. The Investigating Officer present in the court has identified her. I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled CRL.M.C. 2619/2016 with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. It is informed that pursuant to the settlement demand draft bearing No.393622 dated

25.07.2016 of PNB Bank for the sum of `5,50,000/- has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted.
