ORAL JUDGMENT
Date : 01-07-2019
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. Petitioners are accused in connection with Mahila
Police Station Case No.33 of 2014, brought by opposite party No.2,
for the offences under Sections 323, Section498A and Section504/Section34 of the Indian
Penal Code as well as Section 3/Section4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
3. The petitioners have challenged the order dated
27.10.2014, whereby the learned court below has taken cognizance
against the petitioners for the offences as mentioned above.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9896 of 2015 dt.01-07-2019
2/2
4. Without going into the merit of the case, submission of
learned counsel for the petitioners is that the parties have entered
into compromise and a compromise petition has been brought on
the record through second supplementary affidavit. The
compromise was entered into after filing of this application for
quashing of the cognizance order. After compromise, the
continuance of the proceeding before the court below would
amount to abuse of process of the court.
5. I am also satisfied that considering the nature of
allegation and compromise between the parties, the criminal
proceeding need not continue in the ends of justice. Hence, the
impugned order and the subsequent proceeding before the court
below stands quashed, subject to condition that the court below
shall verify the identity of the informant, as compromise petition is
signed in English and the F.I.R. bears signature of the informant in
Hindi.
Accordingly, this application stands allowed.
