compromised all disputes with the petitioners amicably. It is further informed by her that marriage between her and petitioner no. 1 already stands dissolved by way of a decree of divorce. It is submitted by her that they had a child, who has unfortunately passed away and now she wants to settle down in peace so she has opted to close all litigations. Respondent no. 2 submits that she has received full and final settlement amount in lieu of her stridhan and alimony. Respondent no. 2 submits that she does not wish to pursue prosecution of petitioners.

¶17

In view of the aforesaid, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push the parties through trial. Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 07/2021 of PS CWC, Nanakpura for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
