CRL.M.C. 375/2018 1.

By this petition, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.681/2014 under Sections 406/498A/34 IPC, Police Station Anand Parbat. 2.

The subject FIR emanates out of matrimonial discord. Petitioner No.1 was the husband of respondent No.2. Petitioner No.2 is the fatherin-law of respondent No.2. Petitioner Nos.3, 4, 6 & 8 are the sisters-in-law of the respondent No.2. Petitioner Nos.5 & 7 are the brothers-in-law of the respondent No.2.

3.

Parties have settled their dispute amicably and started living together happily.

4.

Respondent No.2 is present in Court in person, is represented by counsel and identified by the Investigating Officer. She confirms that the settlement has taken place amicably and she started living together happily with her husband - petitioner No.1 herein.

5.

In view of the above and keeping in view of the fact that the FIR emanates from matrimonial discord and the parties have resolved their dispute and started living together happily and respondent No. 2 does not wish to press her complaint, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient to quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom. 6.

Accordingly, FIR No.681/2014 under Sections 406/498A/34 IPC, Police Station Anand Parbat, and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed.
