**** RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of FIR No.39 dated 17.07.2014, under Sections 417, 494 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Pathankot, District Pathankot on the basis of compromise dated 28.03.2016 (Annexure P-5). Brief facts of the case are that marriage between petitioner and respondent No.2 was solemnized on 14.04.2000, as per Hindu Rites and Ceremonies. The parents of the complainant had given dowry according to their capacity. After the marriage, the behavior of accused changed and he has started giving beatings to the complainant. 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 petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that keeping in view the peace and harmony, the matter has now been amicably settled between Naresh Kumar 2017.03.22 11:27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
