Due to temperamental differences, both the parties could not live together as husband and wife. No child was born out of this wedlock.

The complainant stated that the matter stands compromised between the parties and she does not want to proceed further against the accused and has no objection, if the present F.I.R be quashed against the petitioners. The compromise has been entered voluntarily. To the same effect is the statement given by the petitioner.

Consequently, in view of the status report dated 28.11.2016 and in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case 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. 101 dated 12.09.2014 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sujanpur, District Gurdaspur, is quashed along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom qua petitioner.

The petition stands disposed of.
