Amandeep Singh Bajaj (husband), Ms. Vijaya Bajaj (mother-in-law), Mr. Gurubachan Singh(father-in-law, since deceased) have been shown in column No.11. Two accused i.e. Reena Bhardwaj and Dimpy Makkar have been shown in column No. 12, and as per the charge-sheet, there is no sufficient evidence against them.

¶19

Learned counsel for petitioner as well as the learned counsel for the respondent No.2 submits that the Court has not even taken cognizance against said two persons, whose names appear in column No. 12.

¶20

Charges have yet not been ascertained.

¶21

It is also apprised that Father-in-law of respondent No.2 had expired during the pendency of the proceedings and such fact has also been duly verified by the IO. The proceedings qua him have already been ordered to be abated by the learned Trial Court.

¶22

Respondent No.2, who is present in Court, submits that she has entered into settlement voluntarily and without any force and coercion and is residing happily with husband.

¶23

She reiterates the terms of settlement and submits that she does not want any further action and would have no objection if the FIR in question is quashed.

¶24

Her affidavit, to said effect, is also on record.

¶25

The Investigating Officer (I.O.) is present and duly identifies her.

¶26

In view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuing with criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose, especially, when dispute does not involve any public interest and is, primarily, private in nature. In any case, even the complainant does not wish to press any charges against the petitioners.
