(2 of 2) [CRLMP-5057/2021]
Relying on the compromise dated 12.08.2021, he submitted that
since the matter has amicably been settled between the parties,
the pending criminal proceeding is liable to be quashed in view of
the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court of India in case of B.S.
Joshi & Ors. Vs. State of Haryana & Anr., 2003 (4) SCC 675.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the criminal
miscellaneous petition.
Learned counsel appearing for the complainant
acknowledging the factum of compromise between the parties,
submitted that he has no objection if the criminal proceeding is
quashed.
Heard the learned counsels for the parties and perused the
record.
A perusal of the material on record shows that the
matrimonial dispute between the parties has amicably been
settled by them on the basis of compromise. In view thereof and
the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of B.S.
Joshi (Supra), this Court deems it just and proper to quash the
criminal proceeding against the petitioners.
Resultantly, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed.
The criminal proceeding under Sections 498-A & 406 of IPC in the
Criminal Case No.297/2017, State versus Kapil Chahar & Ors.
pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Chirawa,
District Jhunjhunu arising out of FIR No.398/2016 registered at
Police Station Chirawa, District Jhunjhunu is quashed.
