3. The respondent no.2 is present in court today and is identified by IO/SI Sachin. I have spoken with respondent no.2 in Hindi and it is stated by her that she has compromised all disputes with the petitioners. Marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 stands already dissolved by way of decree of divorce. One son was born from wedlock of respondent no. 2 with petitioner no. 1 and that son is in custody of respondent no.2. The respondent no.2 submits that she has received complete full and final settlement amount in lieu of her entire stridhan and maintenance. Respondent no.2 submits that she does not wish to continue prosecution of petitioners. 4. Having spoken with respondent no.2, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push the parties through full dress trial. 5. Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 437/2015 of PS Jahangir Puri for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
