3. The respondent no.2 is present through videoconferencing and is identified by IO/SI Santosh Kumar. I have spoken with respondent no.2 in Hindi and it is stated by her that she has compromised all disputes with the petitioner. Marriage between petitioner and respondent no.2 stands already dissolved by way of decree of divorce. No child was born from the wedlock of petitioner and respondent no.2. The respondent no.2 submits that she has received complete full and final settlement amount in lieu of her entire stridhan and maintenance. Respondent no.2 submits that now she does not wish to continue prosecution of petitioner.

4. Having spoken with respondent no.2, I am satisfied that it would be in the interest of justice not to push the parties through full dress trial.

5. Therefore, the petition is allowed and FIR No. 330/2021 of PS Adarsh Nagar for offence under Section 498A/406/34 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same are quashed.
