of the Respondent No.2. The FIR is lodged by the Respondent No.2. The matter is now settled between the parties. Therefore, it is not necessary to refer to the allegations made in the FIR. However, in brief, the allegations in the FIR dated 21/10/2024 are that she got married with the Petitioners’ son on 01/04/2024. There are different instances wherein the Petitioners had ill-treated her. On 17/04/2024, the Petitioners did not allow the Respondent No.2 and their son to enter the house because they had come late in the night after attending a fair. There are certain incidents dated 18/04/2024, 10/09/2024 and even subsequent to that when the Petitioner No.1 had allegedly outraged her modesty. The charge-sheet contains statements of her husband i.e. the son of the Petitioners and her

She has stated that there was an amicable settlement and that she has no objection for quashing of these proceedings. She is present in the Court. The Petitioners and informant’s
