The Criminal Original Petition has been filed to quash the First Information Report No.7 of 2019, dated 5.8.2019 on the file of the respondent police, for the offences punishable under Sections 498(A), 406 and 506(i) IPC.

State of Gujrath), this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. quashes the First Information Report No. 7 of 2019 dated 5.8.2019 pending on the file of the first respondent police.

5. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and as a sequel, the proceedings in Crime No.7 of 2019 dated 5.8.2019 pending on the file of the first respondent police, is quashed and the terms of joint compromise memo shall form part and parcel of this order.
