HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI

Present:

Ms. Sukhpreet Kaur, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. A.P.S. Gill, AAG, Punjab **** RITU BAHRI , J. (Oral) Quashing of FIR No. 111 dated 27.05.2016 under Section 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Gobindgrah Mandi, District Fatehgarh Sahib, is being sought on the basis of compromise/statements dated 23.08.2016 (Annexure P-2) recorded before learned Addl. District Judge under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act. Respondent No. 2 got married to petitioner No. 1 on 06.07.2014. 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 petitioners on account of harassment and humiliation caused by the petitioner on the pretext of bringing less dowry by respondent No. 2. A petition under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act has also been filed.

However, the matter has now been duly compromised, on the basis of compromise/statements dated 23.08.2016 (Annexure P-2) recorded GAURAV ARORA 2017.06.12 12:50 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

Crl. Misc. No. M-33210 of 2016 before learned Addl. District Judge under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act.

In compliance of order dated 19.09.2016, report dated 17.05.2017 of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Amloh has been received in this regard. As per report, statements of the complainant and petitioners 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 petitioners.

Consequently, in view of the status report dated 17.05.2017 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. 111 dated 27.05.2016 under Section 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Gobindgrah Mandi, District Fatehgarh Sahib, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioners.

The petition stands disposed of.
