iv) Before the registration of FIR, all possible efforts should be made for
reconciliation and in case it is found that there is no possibility of settlement, then, necessary steps should, in the first instance, be taken to ensure return of sthridhan and dowry articles to the complainant.
The other directions given were :-The Delhi Legal Services Authority, National Commission for Women,
NGOs and social workers working for upliftment of women should set up a
desk in Crime Against Women Cell to provide them with conciliation services,
so that before the State machinery is set in motion, the matter is amicably
settled at that very stage. The need to explore the possibility of reunion and
conciliation when the case reaches the Court was also stressed. In conclusion,
it was observed that in these matters, the parties themselves can adopt a
conciliatory approach without intervention of any outside agency.
