CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. PATHAK

O R D E R

% 18.12.2017 It is submitted that the husband (petitioner no. 1) and wife (respondent no. 2) have started living together after settling their disputes for the last about four months, therefore, FIR no.285/2016 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Keshav Puram may be quashed against the petitioner no. 1 and his relatives, that is, petitioner nos. 2 to 4. Respondent no. 2 is present in Court and has been identified by SI Mahendra of Police Station Keshav Puram.

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.285/2016 under Sections 498-A/406/34 IPC registered at Police Station Keshav Puram and the consequent proceedings emanating therefrom are quashed.

Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Miscellaneous application is disposed of as infructuous. Dasti.

A.K. PATHAK, J.
