ORAL JUDGMENT
Date: 15-09-2017

Heard Shri Satish Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners.

2. The present petition has been filed for quashing the order

dated 03.12.2013 passed in Complaint Case No. 308 of 2013 by the

learned S.D.J.M., Jehanabad taking cognizance under Section 498A of

the Indian Penal Code and Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act

against the petitioners herein.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

matter has already been settled between the parties and in support

thereof, he produces a compromise petition filed before the learned

trial court dated 14.01.2015, wherein it has been submitted that the

opposite party no. 2 has received one time lump sum amount of Rs.

3,35,000/- by a bank draft. In the said compromise petition, it has

2/2

also been undertaken by the parties to obtain a decree of divorce in

the pending divorce proceeding as well as to withdraw the criminal

case filed against each other. The aforesaid compromise petition

produced by the learned counsel for the petitioners is taken on record.

4. The learned counsel further produces a photo copy of the

demand draft for a sum of Rs. 3, 35,000/- which is also taken on

record.

5. Nobody appears on behalf of the opposite party no. 2 despite

valid service of notice as informed by the Registry. Hence, it appears

that on account of the aforesaid compromise entered into between the

parties, the opposite party no. 2 has lost interest of the present case.

6. For the reasons stated hereinabove as also on account of the

compromise entered into between the parties, I deem it fit and proper

to quash the order dated 03.12.2012 passed by the learned S.D.J.M.,

Jehanabad.

7. The petition is allowed and the order dated 03.12.2012

passed in Complaint Case No.308 of 2013 by the learned S.D.J.M.,

Jehanabad, is hereby quashed.
