2. The petitioners have moved the Court under Section
482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred
to as the ‘Code’) for quashing of the order dated 25.04.2014,
passed in Desari P.S. Case No. 169 of 2013/Tr. No. 4733 of 2014
by the Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Vaishali at Hajipur by which
cognizance has been taken against them under Sections
341/323/307/406/498A/504/506/120B of the Indian Penal Code
and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
3. The petitioners are father-in-law, mother-in-law and
husband of the Opposite Party No. 2.
4. At the very outset, learned counsel for the parties
informed the Court that the parties have compromised the matter,
but the case is pending, both on account of there being stay in the
present cases and also cognizance having been taken under non-
compoundable sections.
5. Having regard to the fact that the matter basically
relates to matrimonial dispute between the parties, and the same
having been mutually compromised, the Court finds that a case for
interference under Section 482 of the Code in exercise of its
inherent power for securing the ends of justice, has been made out.
6. Accordingly, the applications are allowed. The order
dated 25.04.2014 passed in Desari P.S. Case No. 169 of 2013/Tr.
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.28692 of 2014 dt.02-01-2019
