counsel for petitioner (this is a Criminal Complaint Case). I have spoken with respondent no. 2 in Hindi and it is stated by her that she has compromised all her disputes with the petitioner. Respondent no. 2 submits that she does not wish to continue prosecution of petitioner. It is specifically stated by respondent no.2 that she is undergoing some medical treatment for a complicated disease, so she has opted to settle the dispute without expecting any monetary compensation. Respondent no.2 also submits in response to a specific query that she does not want time to think again. 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 a full dress trial. 5. Therefore, the petition is allowed and Complaint Case No. 450/2022 of Police Station Kalyan Puri, Delhi for offence under Section 354/354A/354D/341 IPC as well as proceedings arising out of the same pending in the Court of Ms. Ritika Kansal, JMFC, East, Karkardooma Court are quashed.
