further.
7. In view of the fact that the proceedings emanate out of a

disputes and the respondent No.2 has stated that she does not wish to
press the complaint any further and the fact that the parties have
already been divorced by way of a decree of divorce by, passed on
03.05.2016, continuation of criminal proceedings 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.
8. In view of the above, the petition is allowed. FIR No.782/2015
under Sections 498A/406 IPC, Police Station Govind Puri and the
consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are, accordingly
quashed.
