W.P.(Crl.) No.1478/2018 1.

By the present petition, the petitioners seek quashing of FIR No.714/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Ranhola on the complaint of respondent No.2 and the proceedings pursuant thereto on the ground that parties have settled the matter. 2.

Learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State on instructions submits that in the above noted FIR the five petitioners are the only accused and the respondent No.2 is the only complainant/victim.

3.

Respondent No.2 who is present in Court and is identified by the Investigating Officer states that she has settled the matter with the petitioners vide compromise deed dated 8th May, 2018, copy whereof is annexed as Annexure P-8 to the present petition. In terms of the compromised deed, petitioner No.1 and respondent No.2 have reconciled their disputes. Respondent No.2 states that for the last one month she is residing in the matrimonial home along with petitioner No.1 and his family. She undertakes to abide by the terms of settlement. In terms of the settlement she does not want to pursue the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto.

4.

Petitioners who are present in Court and are identified by the learned counsel affirm the statement of respondent No.2 and undertake to abide by the terms of settlement arrived at between the parties. They also undertake that they will not give any cause of grievance to respondent No.2. 5.

In view of the fact that the parties have amicably resolved their differences of their own free will, volition and without any coercion and no useful purpose will be served in continuance of the proceedings, rather the same would create further acrimony between them, it would be in the interest of justice to quash the abovementioned FIR and the proceedings pursuant thereto. There is no legal impediment in quashing the FIR in question.

6.

Consequently, FIR No.714/2015 under Sections 498A/406/34 IPC registered at PS Ranhola and proceedings pursuant thereto are hereby quashed.

7.

Parties have signed this order sheet in acknowledgment of their statements made before this Court.
