This is a proceedings instituted under Section 482 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing Annexure A2 final
report and all further proceedings pursuant thereto now
pending as C.C.No.1019 of 2019 on the files of the Court of the

petitioner.
2. The petitioner is the sole accused in the said case
and the case is one instituted at the instance of the third
respondent, the wife of the petitioner, under Section 498A of
the Indian Penal Code.
3. It is seen that the petitioner and the de facto
complainant have settled their disputes, and an affidavit to that
effect has been filed by the third respondent as Annexure A3.
4. The learned counsel for the third respondent
affirms that Annexure A3 is an affidavit sworn to by the defacto
complainant, and submits that the third respondent has no
Crl.M.C. No.9269 of 2019 3
objection in granting the relief sought for by the petitioner.
5. In the light of the decisions of the Apex Court in
Gian singh v. State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303,
Narinder singh v. State of Punjab, (2014) 6 SCC 466 and
SectionJitendra Raghuvanshi Others v. Babita Raghuvanshi
Another, (2013) 4 SCC 58, I am of the view that this is an
appropriate case where this court has to invoke the jurisdiction
under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash
the proceedings against the petitioner.
In the result, the Crl.M.C. is allowed and Annexure-A2
final report and all further proceedings pursuant thereto against
the petitioner pending as C.C.No.1019 of 2019 on the files of
