Dadri, district Gautam Budh Nagar. 3. After having perused the impugned FIR and the other materials brought on the record, we are not inclined to quash the same. Therefore, the prayer for quashing the impugned F.I.R. is refused. 4. However, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that this F.I.R. has been lodged on account of matrimonial dispute which may be settled by way of mediation, it is directed that in case the petitioners deposit Rs.20,000/- before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre, High Court, Allahabad, within a period of 15 days from today, the Mediation Centre shall issue notice to the respondent/victim and on the appearance of the victim- Smt.

The mediation proceedings shall be concluded within a period not exceeding three months from the date of initiation of the proceedings. Till the conclusion of the mediation proceedings, the petitioners shall not be arrested by the I.O. 6. In case the mediation succeeds the parties shall file the settlement agreement, if any, before the I.O., who shall thereafter consider the appropriateness of submitting a final report in this case on the basis of the compromise and the evidence collected during the investigation and the Magistrate concerned may also pass an appropriate order in this regard after giving opportunity of hearing to the complainant. 7. It is further directed that in case the petitioners do not deposit the aforesaid amount within stipulated period or the mediation fails, it shall be open to the I.O. to make their arrest. 8. It is further directed that in case the mediation fails and the petitioners appear before the Court concerned within fifteen days thereafter and apply for bail, the same shall be heard and disposed of in view of the case of Smt.
