compromise has been effected between the parties. The affidavit is taken on

record.

Statements of the parties have been recorded before the court

below in a petition filed under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act for

dissolution of marriage.

Counsel for the State and respondent No. 2 who is present in

Court, have not disputed that the parties i.e. petitioner and respondent No.2

(complainant) have arrived at a settlement with an intent to give burial to

their differences.

Perusal of allegations in the FIR reveals that the present case

squarely falls in the category of cases that can be quashed by the High Court,

in exercise of its inherent power under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Keeping in view

authoritative enunciation of law laid down by Hon’ble the Supreme Court in

‘Gian Singh v. State of Punjab and another’, 2012 (4) R.C.R. (Criminal)

543 and in the light of facts and circumstances discussed hereinbefore, this

Court is of the considered opinion that continuation of criminal proceedings

would amount to abuse of process of law and it is expedient in the interest of

justice that the same are put to an end.

For the foregoing reasons, the petition is allowed, FIR No. 67

dated 8.4.2017 under Sections 406, 498A IPC registered at Police Station

Goraya, District Jalandhar Rural, order dated 25.5.2018 and proceedings

emanating therefrom stand quashed qua the petitioner(s).
