Ashish Arora & Ors v. State & Anr

O R D E R %

09.11.2016 Petitioner nos.2 to 4 are the relatives of petitioner no.1. Marital discord between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 had led to registration of present FIR No.0005/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 at police station SPUW & C Distt. Petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have settled their disputes amicably before the Mediation Centre, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. Marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 has already been dissolved by the decree of divorce by mutual consent dated 8th October, 2016. Respondent no.2 is present in Court and admits having settled the matter with petitioner no.1. She further admits having received the entire settled amount. She submits that she has no objection in case the FIR is quashed. Keeping in mind the facts that petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 have settled their disputes amicably before the Mediation Centre, inasmuch as, the entire settled amount has been received and marriage between them has already been dissolved, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, FIR No.0005/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 at police station SPUW & C Distt is quashed. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous.
