CORAM:

HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Mr. Dinesh Kumar Jangra, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Gautam Dutt, AAP, for U.T., Chandigarh.

**** RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.207 dated 06.05.2015, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sector-11, Chandigarh, on the basis of compromise/statements (Annexures P-3 to P-5). Brief facts of the case are that the marriage of complainant was solemnized with petitioner No.1 Anoop Singh on 09.11.2013 according to Hindu Rights and Ceremony. After the marriage, the behavior of the accused became changed and they started beatings to the complainant on account of demand of dowry. Thereafter, due to incompatibility of temperament, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. The relationship between them became strained and thereafter, the F.I.R was registered against the petitioners.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that keeping in view the peace and harmony, the matter has now been amicably settled between the parties with the intervention of respectable persons, vide compromise/statements (Annexures P-3 to P-5).
