HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. Prashanth Vashisht, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. A.P.S. Gill, AAG, Punjab **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 003 dated 27.02.2016 under Section 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station NRI, Ludhiana City, is being sought on the basis of compromise deed dated 22.03.2017 (P-2). Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner No. 1 on 25.08.2014 . Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained and F.I.R was registered against the petitioner on account of harassment and humiliation caused by the petitioner on the pretext of bringing less dowry by respondent No. 2.

However, the matter has now been duly compromised, vide compromise deed dated 22.03.2017 (P-2).

In compliance of order dated 03.04.2017, report dated 28.04.2017 of Chief Judl. Magistrate, Ludhiana has been received in this regard. As per report, statement of the complainant and statement of Vishal GAURAV ARORA 2017.05.24 14:38 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Crl. Misc. No. M-11439-2017 Arrora (general power of attorney of the petitioner) have been recorded and they stated that the matter has been duly compromised between them. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. The complainant stated that she has no objection if the F.I.R be quashed against the petitioner. Consequently, in view of the status report dated 28.04.2017 and in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in cases of Dr. Arvind Barsaul etc. versus State of Madhya Pradesh and another 2008(2) RCR (Criminal) 910, no useful purpose would be served in prolonging the litigation.

Accordingly, FIR No. 003 dated 27.02.2016 under Section 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station NRI, Ludhiana City, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioner. The petition stands disposed of.
