This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed with a
prayer to quash the criminal proceedings in Criminal Case
No.1019/2017, State versus Yogesh Kumar pending in the Court
of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dausa.
It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that
the aforesaid criminal proceedings arise out of FIR No.203/2016
registered under Sections 498-A & 406 IPC. He submitted that it
being a matrimonial dispute, the same has amicably been settled
between the complainant and the petitioner. He submitted that the
compromise dated 14.08.2020 was submitted before the learned
(2 of 2) [CRLMP-3778/2020]
trial Court to quash the proceedings; but, the learned trial Court
has quashed the proceedings qua Section 406 IPC being
compoundable; but, declined to quash the proceedings qua
Section 498-A IPC. Relying on the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex
Court in case of B.S. Joshi & Ors. versus State of Haryana &
Anr., 2003 Cri.L.J. 2028, learned counsel for the petitioner
prayed that the criminal proceedings qua Section 498-A IPC be
also quashed against him.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the petition.
Learned counsel appearing for the complainant
acknowledging the factum of compromise between the parties,
submitted that he has no objection if the pending proceedings
against the petitioner under Section 498-A IPC is quashed.
Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
record.
Taking into consideration the submissions advanced by the
learned counsels for the parties, the compromise dated
14.08.2020 and the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in
case of B.S. Joshi (supra), this Court deems it just and proper to
allow this criminal miscellaneous petition.
Resultantly, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed.
The proceeding in criminal case No.1019/2017, State versus
Yogesh Kumar pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Dausa against the petitioner is quashed.
