Learned counsel for the petitioners has relied upon B.S.
Joshi Ors. v. State of Haryana, (2003) 4 SCC 675, to
contend that in matrimonial matters, to bring families at peace,
this court while invoking inherent powers under Section 482
Cr.P.C. can quash the FIR and subsequent criminal proceedings
even for non-compoundable offences.
Taking into account the submissions made by the learned
counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the
matrimonial dispute has been resolved by the parties by way of
compromise, the petition is allowed and the impugned FIR
alongwith all subsequent proceedings is quashed.
