4. After solemnization of their marriage, the petitioner and the

Due to some temperamental differences between the petitioner and

Resultantly, the respondent no.2 left the matrimonial home on

5. The respondent No.2 lodged a complaint against the petitioner before
the CAW Cell which culminated into the said FIR. She preferred a

by mutual consent was granted on 05.04.2017 by the court of learned

Nagar, District West, Delhi, under Sections 498A/406/506 IPC and
