the instance of the sister of petitioner no.1’s former wife.

During pendency of the proceedings, the parties have arrived at a settlement with the intervention of family and friends. The terms of the settlement were reduced in writing in the form of Settlement Agreement dated 31.05.2025 which is annexed as Annexure B to the present petition. 6. The marriage between petitioner no.1 and his wife has been dissolved by way of mutual consent as per muslim rites and customs, which fact is also affirmed by respondent no.2, who is present in Court. 7. It is a term of the settlement that respondent no.2 will cooperate with the petitioners for the quashing of the present FIR. 8. Respondent no.2, on a query posed by the Court, states that she has no objection in case the FIR is quashed.
