Patna High Court Cr.M isc. No.15162 of 2014 dt.23-11-2017
2/2
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
Both the aforesaid criminal miscellaneous petitions have
been filed by the accused persons of Complaint Case No. 911 of 2013
brought by opposite party no. 2 for offence under Section 498A of the
Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
Both applications, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., were
preferred against the order of cognizance dated 16.07.2013 passed by
the learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Gaya.
Submission of the learned counsel for the parties is that they
have entered into a compromise, hence, continuance of criminal
proceeding would amount to an abuse of the process of the Court.
Considering the nature of allegation and factum of
compromise, the continuance of criminal proceeding would amount to
an abuse of the process of the Court.
Hence, for substantial justice, the impugned orders stand
quashed and both the applications are allowed.
