Respondent No. 2 and 3 are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel and the Investigating Officer. They state that they have settled the matter with the petitioner and do not wish to pursue the above-noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. Respondent No.2 states that pursuant to settlement divorce by mutual consent has been granted between the petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2. She has received all her istridhan back and she does not claim any other amount from the petitioner including the maintenance, istridhan and alimony. She states that the above-noted FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto be quashed.

Petitioners who are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel affirm the statement of respondent No.2 and 3 and state that they will abide by the terms of settlement arrived at between the parties.

In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

Consequently, FIR No. 584/2011 under Sections 498A/406/364/368/506/120B/34 IPC registered at PS Jagat Puri, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.
