I have spoken with respondent no.2 in Hindi and it is stated by her that she has compromised all disputes with the petitioner.

One child namely Haneet was born from wedlock of petitioner and respondent no.2 and he is residing with 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 petitioner. 4.
