3. The respondent no.2 is present in court today and is identified by
IO/SI Vaibhav Singh. I have spoken with respondent no.2 in Hindi and it is
stated by her that she has compromised all disputes with the petitioners.
Marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 stands already
dissolved by way of decree of divorce. One daughter was born from
wedlock of respondent no. 2 with petitioner no. 1 and that daughter is in
custody of respondent no.2. The respondent no.2 submits that she has
received complete full and final settlement amount in lieu of her entire
stridhan and maintenance, including balance amount of Rs.12,50,000/-.
Respondent no.2 submits that she does not wish to continue prosecution of
petitioners.
4. Having spoken with respondent no.2, I am satisfied that it would be in
the interest of justice not to push the parties through full dress trial.
5. Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 243/2024 of Police
Station Sarita Vihar for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC as well as
proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
