1. This is a petition filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of F.I.R. No.119/2004 registered at P.S. Gandhi Nagar under Section 498A/406/34 IPC in respect of which charge sheet is pending in the Court of Ms. Sunena Sharma, M.M., Delhi. The ground for quashing pleaded in the petition is that Smt.

Tilak Raj has also filed an affidavit to the effect that the matter has been amicably settled and he shall not give any cause for complaint so far as the petitioner is concerned.

2. In view of the above, both the petitioner and respondent No.2 have agreed to get the said FIR No.l19/2004 quashed in view of the settlement.

3. Having regard to the facts of the case as the matrimonial dispute between the petitioner and respondent No.2 has been settled, no useful purpose will be served in keeping the FIR and consequent proceedings _,____________________________________________________________________________ 2011:DHC:11241 pending which will unnecessarily strain the matrimonial relations of the parties. Accordingly, F.I.R. No.l19 /2004 registered at P.S. Gandhi Nagar under Section 498A/406I 34 IPC and all the consequent proceedings pending in any Court shall stand quashed.

4. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. Parties are left to bear their own costs. ----- V.K. SHALI,J NE 03,2011 -· tb
