Judgment / Order

The instant criminal misc. petition has been filed by the
petitioners against the order dated 21.09.2019 passed by the
learned Metropolitan Magistrate No.2, Jodhpur Metropolitan,
(Downloaded on 21/11/2019 at 08:58:23 PM)
(2 of 2) [CRLMP-5925/2019]
whereby the learned Judge while granting permission for
compounding the offence under Sections 406, Section323 IPC, declined to
compound the offence under Section 498-A IPC as well as for
quashing the entire proceedings pending against the petitioners.
Counsel for the parties submit that the petitioner No.1 and
respondent No.2/complainant are husband and wife. They have
entered into a compromise in the spirit of Lok Adalat and settled
their dispute amicably, therefore, the criminal proceedings
pending against the petitioners for offence under Sections 498-A
of IPC may be quashed.
Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case,
since the petitioners and complainant have arrived at compromise
and settled their dispute and in the view of the law laid down by
the Hon’ble Apex court in the case of B.S. Joshi Vs. State of
Haryana, reported in 2003 (4) SCC p.675 in which it has been
held that the proceedings under Section 498A IPC can be quashed
because it is the matrimonial matter, the criminal proceedings for
offence under Section 498-A are liable to be quashed.
Accordingly, the present misc. petition is allowed and the
criminal proceedings pending before the learned Metropolitan
Magistrate No.2, Jodhpur Metropolitan in Criminal Regular Case
No.16/2019 are quashed on the basis of compromise arrived at
between the parties.
Stay petition is also disposed of accordingly.
