Bibek Chaudhuri, J.

Both the petitioners and opposite party No.2 have filed a joint petition for compromise, stating, inter alia that Jadavpore Police Station Case No.506 of 2010 dated 6th October, 2010 under Sections 498A/34 corresponding to A.C.G.R. Case No.2054 of 2017 pending

before the Court of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate at Alipore has been settled by and between the parties amicably and the parties are not willing to proceed with the aforesaid case. I have perused the joint compromise petition. The terms and conditions of settlement is found to be lawful. However, by an order dated 10th June, 2022, a Co-ordinate Bench directed the Investigating Officer to record a statement of the opposite party No.2 to ascertain as to whether the dispute between the parties has been amicably settled or not. The opposite party made a statement before the Investigating Officer admitting settlement of the dispute between the parties. However, she denied false charges levelled against her by the petitioners/accused persons that she extorted money for effecting compromise.

The petitioner has prayed for bringing the fact on record that she has not claimed or accepted any money for settlement of the case and future maintenance of herself and her minor daughter. Since the present dispute is compromised between the parties, further proceedings in connection with A.C.G.R. Case No. 2054 of 2017 arising out of Jadavpore Police Station Case No.506 of 2010 under Sections 498A/34 of the Indian Penal Code be quashed. For abundant caution it is recorded that for effecting settlement, the opposite party No.

any money from the petitioners and the petitioners are prevented from taking any legal action of such allegation against the opposite party No.2 in future.

The instant revision is, thus, disposed of.
