I have enquired from the complainant whether the matter has been settled with the petitioners amicably without fear and pressure. She has informed that the matter has been settled without any fear or pressure and she has no objection to the quashing of the FIR. It is informed that pursuant to the settlement demand draft bearing No.356719 dated 10.11.2016 for the sum of `1,25,000/- drawn on Punjab and Sind Bank has been handed over to the complainant today in the court. Divorce by mutual consent has been granted.
