HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 25.07.2018 Crl. M.A. 9898/2018 (exemption) Allowed, subject to all just exceptions. Application is disposed of. Crl.M.C.2777/2018 Notice. Learned APP accepts notice for respondent no.1. Respondent no.2 is also present in Court along with her counsel, who accepts notice. She has been identified by SI Omveer Singh of police station Nand Nagri. It is submitted that petitioner no. 1 (husband) and respondent no. 2 (wife) have been living together since December, 2015. Respondent no.2 says that she has no objection in case FIR No. 347/2013 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 registered

at police station Nand Nagri and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed against the petitioners. Keeping in mind that husband and wife have started living together after resolving their differences, in my view, no fruitful purpose would be served to keep the criminal proceedings pending. Accordingly, in the interest of justice FIR No. 347/2013 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC and section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 registered at police station Nand Nagri and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed. Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti. A.K. PATHAK, J JULY 25, 2018/ab
