non-compoundable.

Today, both the petitioner and the respondent no.2
have stated that they will be living separately and they have
decided not to stay with the parents of the petitioner. The
complainant/respondent no.2 Usha Yadav present in the court has
stated that she no longer intends to pursue the FIR, hence, the
proceedings be quashed.
Reliance has been placed upon B.S. Joshi Ors. vs.
State of Haryana Anr., 2003 Cri.L.J. 2028, to contend that
this Court while exercising jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. in
furtherance of interest of justice in matrimonial dispute may bring
families at peace by quashing FIR.
On the prayer made by the petitioner and the
complaint/respondent no.2, who are present in person, in view of
the judgment in the case of B.S. Joshi (supra), relied by the
parties, the present petition is accepted and impugned FIR along
with all its subsequent proceedings is quashed.
