genuineness of the compromise so effected on the basis of statements so

recorded.

Pursuant to the aforesaid order, the parties have appeared

before Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Faridabad and got their statements

recorded. Learned Magistrate has forwarded his report dated 14.08.2019 to

the effect that the compromise and settlement arrived at between the two

sides is genuine, voluntary and without any threat pressure or undue

influence. The joint statement of the complainant along with other family

reads as under:-

“Stated that we have mutually compromised the dispute
with our own wish and consent and without any pressure. We
have left no grudges with each other. We do not want to
proceed further the present case.

Complainant 1 and 2 has obtained divorce from
accused No.1 and 2 and they have re-married and have no
objection to quash the present FIR/proceedings”.

of respondent no.2-complainant has not disputed the factum of compromise

between the parties.

Learned State counsel also does not dispute the factum of

compromise effected between the parties.

There is nothing on record to doubt the genuineness of the

compromise, as arrived between the parties. Thus, no useful purpose would

be served to continue with the proceedings in the instant FIR.
