Judgment / Order
27/11/2017
The instant misc. petition has been filed seeking quashing of
the proceedings of the Cr. Case No.311/2013 pending in the Court
of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Churu arising out of FIR
No.81/2012 registered at the Women Police Station, Churu for the
offences under Sections 498A and 406 of the I.P.C. on the basis of
the compromise.
The respondent No.2 is the first informant and the petitioner
No.1 is her husband.
Both the learned counsel for the parties have submitted that
the parties have decided to terminate their ties by mutual consent
and thus, the proceedins going on in the trial court should be
quashed.
(2 of 2)
[CRLMP-4117/2017]
They submit that a combined application for termination of
the proceedings through a mutual compromise was filed in
cognate proceedings pending in the Family Court and decree of
divorce under Section 13B of Hindu Marriage Act was also issued
on the basis thereof and so also in the court of the CJM, Churu in
proceedings under Section 12 of the Domestic Violence Act. They
thus submit that the above compromise may be accepted so as to
quash the proceedings pending in the court below against the
petitioners for the offences under Sections 498A and 406 I.P.C.
In this view of the matter and looking to the guidelines
issued by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Gian Singh Vs.
State of Punjab Anr. reported in JT 2012(9) SC-426, it is
apparent that further continuance of the proceedings going on
against the petitioners in the learned trial Court cannot be said to
be expedient in the interest of justice. If the proceedings are
allowed to continue, it may result into the compromise being
unsettled.
Accordingly, the misc. petition is allowed and the
proceedings of the Cr. Case No.311/2013 pending in the Court of
learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Churu arising out of FIR
No.81/2012 registered at the Women Police Station, Churu for the
offences under Sections 498A and 406 of the I.P.C. are hereby
quashed.
