Respondent No. 2, being the complainant, is also present along with her counsel Mr.R.S. Sharma. With the consent of counsel for both the parties, this petition has been taken up for final disposal at this stage itself. The respondent No. 2 was married with late Sh. Vinod Kumar on 20.02.1999. Her husband died in a road accident on 28.06.2003. After the death of her husband, she stayed in the house of her in- laws, being the petitioners herein, happily for about two years till June 2005. She left the house of the petitioners for her parents' house in June 2005 and thereafter started filing civil and criminal cases against the petitioners for her maintenance and also for other reliefs. She lodged the FIR in question against the petitioners at Police Station Mansarovar Park on 26.11.2005. During the pendency of the criminal case pursuant to FIR in question against the petitioners, the parties are stated to have settled their dispute with the intervention of their friends & relatives on the terms & conditions contained in the compromise deed (at page 34 of the paper book). Broadly speaking, in terms of compromise between the parties, the respondent No. 2 has been paid an amount of Rs.1.85 Lakhs by the petitioners and besides that, Cr/. M.C. No. 1489/2010 page 2 of4 she has also been given a corner shop in premises No. B-28, Nathu Colony East, Shahdara, Delhi. The respondent No. 2 is present in Court. She acknowledge that she has received the entire compromise amount from the petitioners and she also confirms that the shop agreed to be given to her has been transferred by the petitioners in her name. Respondent No. 2 has been identified by her counsel Mr. R.S. Sharma. She says that she has entered into settlement with the petitioners voluntarily and without there being any pressure or coercion of any kind on her from anybody whomsoever. She submits that she is not interested to continue with the criminal case got registered by her against the petitioners and has no objection to the quashing of the said case. Since the dispute which led to registration of FIR in question against the petitioners was a family dispute and as the parties have amicably settled their said dispute on terms & conditions contained in compromise deed at page 34 of the paper book, this Court is of 0 the opinion that no useful purpose is going to be served by keeping the criminal case pending against the petitioners. Cr/. M.C. No. 1489/2010 page 3 of4 In view of the foregoing, this petition is allowed. The FIR No. / 533/2005 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC got registered by respondent No. 2 against the petitioners at Police Station Mansarovar Park is hereby quashed. The criminal proceedings arising out of the said FIR, stated to be pending against the petitioners at Karkardooma Courts, Delhi, are ordered to be dropped. MAY 06, 2010 'BSR' Cr/. M.C.
