1. Petitioners seek quashing of case FIR No. 01/2021 of PS New Ashok

complainant de facto (respondent no.2 herein) has settled all matrimonial
disputes with the petitioners.
2. The matter was listed today at a short date specifically at the request
of learned counsel for petitioners, but he has not appeared. It is stated by
petitioners that lawyers are on strike.

examined the issue.

her the entire incident.
