Page 2 of 2 pages Kumar also accepts notice. 4. I have spoken with both sides in Hindi and it is stated by them that now they have compromised all their disputes and are living together happily. Petitioner no. 1 is husband of respondent no. 2 and petitioners no. 2 and 3 are mother and brother of petitioner no. 1, respectively. It is further submitted by all of them that for past six years they are living together and the petitioner no. 1 and respondent no. 2 are bringing up their two daughters also. The respondent no. 2 submits that she does not wish to continue with prosecution of petitioners. 5. Having spoken with both sides, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push the parties through a full dress trial. 6. Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 1277/2017 of PS Vijay Vihar for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed. 7. Accompanying application also stands disposed of.
