The petitioners who were represented by Sumit Nandvani, Advocate sought quashing of the FIR of the basis of the Mediated Settlement arrived at between the parties at Delhi Mediation Centre, Karkardooma Courts.<\/p>\n

The wife submitted that the parties have already been granted divorce by mutual consent. Further, in terms of the settlement, she had received a sum of Rs 7 lakhs. However, she submitted some of the dowry articles including a motorcycle were not returned to her.<\/p>\n

Upon perusal of the Mediated Settlement and joint statement made by parties, the High Court found that the wife clearly stated in the statement that she had received the alimony, stridhan, etc. in a full and final. Therefore, according to the Court subsequently she could not be heard to say that she had not received certain dowry articles. It was observed that\u00a0”\u00a0party cannot be allowed to wriggle out of a mediated settlement unless vitiated by misrepresentation, etc.”\u00a0<\/strong>In the present case, there was no allegation of any misrepresentation against the petitioners so the wife was bound by the statement. Therefore, the petition was allowed and the FIR was quashed. [Amandeep Singh v. State,\u00a02018 SCC OnLine Del 13125<\/b><\/a>, dated 18-12-2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
