She states that she has already reunited with her husband and living her life peacefully and happily. The Investigation Officer, Versova Police Station who is present in the Court confirms the identity of respondent no.2. It has been the complaint of respondent no.2 that Advocate Narendra Kumar Singh engaged by her to appear in the matter has not been cooperating with her. He has not attended to the matter since last couple of dates. Therefore, she is personally present today in the Court and has tendered her statement in writing. She has also produced her PAN Card bearing No. AVIPB8605K as proof of identity. 2. Considering the submissions made on behalf of the counsel for the applicant and the statement of respondent no.2 and considering the fact that the dispute in the complaint is purely personal and family dispute which has been amicably resolved, there will be no point in continuing with the criminal proceedings.
