3. I have spoken with the parties in Hindi and it is stated by them that they have resolved all matrimonial disputes amicably. It is stated by them that they have got their marriage dissolved by way of decree of divorce after return of complete stridhan to respondent no.2.

Respondent no.2 also submits that she does not wish to pursue prosecution of petitioners.
4. Having spoken with the parties, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push them through trial.
