Respondent No. 2 further submits that now, there is no dispute left between her and the petitioners and therefore, she does not want the petitioners to be prosecuted on her FIR and she has no objection if the FIR is quashed.

Settlement arrived at between the parties. State has no objection if the FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.
Since the parties have amicably settled the matter and now there is no dispute left, I feel that no useful purpose shall be served in prosecuting the petitioners on the basis of the FIR. Accordingly, FIR No. 324/2010 under
