Khasra No. 560, situated in the area of Village Masudabad, Colony known as Ranji Enclave, New Delhi-110059 in the name of Respondent No.2 and her son Master Pawan. She further states that in view of the settlement between the parties, she does not want to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.
In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.
Consequently, FIR No. 811/2003 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Nangloi, Delhi and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.
