the mother-in-law of the respondent No.2.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the parties have
settled their disputes and a Memorandum of Settlement dated
09.02.2017 has been executed between the parties. Parties inform that
the parties have already initiated steps for taking divorce under
Section 10A of the Divorce Act and the First Motion Petition already
stands allowed. The parties undertake that they shall be duly applying
for Second Motion for grant of divorce.

5. Respondent No.2 was to be paid a total sum of Rs.6,50,000/-,

Scooty has been attached by the State Bank of India and she shall be
approaching the State Bank of India for release of the Scooty. The

objection’ to respondent No.2, for the said purpose, if required. The
undertaking is accepted.

and is identified by the Investigating Officer. She submits that she has

further.

matrimonial discord and the parties have fully and finally settled their
disputes and the respondent No.2 has stated that she does not wish to
press the complaint any further, continuation of criminal proceedings

CRL.M.C. 3026/2018 Page 3 of 4
will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the
dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored;
securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would
be expedient to quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings
emanating there from.

11. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR
No.1188/2014 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC, Police Station K.N.
Katju Marg and the consequent proceedings emanating there from are
