PRITAM PAL, J(ORAL):
Petitioners have brought this petition under Section 482 of the
Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of F.I.R.No.34 dated 16.02.2005
under Sections 406, 498-A, 506 I.P.C., registered at Police Station Mahesh
Nagar, Ambala Cant and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom.
This case has arisen out of a matrimonial dispute between the
petitioners and respondents No.3-complainant Smt.Seema Gupta, who is
present in the Court today and identified by her counsel Sh.Gaurav Sethi,
Advocate. On the query put to her, complainant has categorically stated that
she has no grudge against any of the petitioners and has already received
Rs.1,40,000/- as future maintenance allowance etc. She further states that
she has already arrived at a compromise with the petitioners amicably with
the intervention of the respectable and common relations. In this regard,
Criminal Misc.No.M-18188 of 2008 (O&M) -2-
mutual agreement dated 04.09.2007 is also placed on the file and the same
is Annexure P-2. The prosecution evidence is yet to be concluded in this
case.
In the given facts and circumstances of this case, no useful
purpose would be served by allowing the proceedings to continue in the trial
Court.
In the result, this petition succeeds and consequently
F.I.R.No.34 dated 16.02.2005 under Sections 406, 498-A, 506 I.P.C.,
registered at Police Station Mahesh Nagar, Ambala Cant and all subsequent
proceedings arising therefrom are hereby ordered to be quashed, qua the
petitioners.
