O R R%11.01.2018

Respondent no. 2 Ms. Salma is present in Court and has been identifiedby ASI Yashpal Singh of police station Karawal Nagar.Respondent no. 2admits having settled the matter with petitioner no. 1 of her own free will,voluntarily and without any undue force, pressure or coercion. Respondent no.

2 says that she has received the entire settled amount of `2,80,000/- from thepetitioner no. 1 in terms of the settlement arrived at before the Delhi MediationCentre, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi on 17[th]March, 2015 and she has noobjection in case FIR is quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives,that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 9.

Keeping in mind the settlement arrived at between the petitioner no. 1

and respondent no. 2 voluntarily and that respondent no. 2 is not willing topursue the FIR any further, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served tokeep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice,FIR No.297/2012 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC and Section 4 of theDowry Prohibition Act, 1961 registered at Police Station Karawal Nagar andthe consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
