3. The subject FIR emanates out of matrimonial discord.
Petitioner No.1 is the husband of respondent No.2. Petitioner No.2 is
the mother-in-law of the respondent No.2. Petitioner Nos.3, 4 and 5
are relations of the Petitioner No. 1.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the parties have
resolved their disputes and are amicably residing together as husband
and wife.
5. The respondent No.2 is present in person and is identified by
the Investigating Officer. She submits that she has amicably resolved
the disputes with her husband and they are now cohabiting together.
She submits that she does not wish to press charges against the
petitioner and has no objection to the quashing of the subject FIR.
6. In view of the fact that the proceedings emanate out of a
matrimonial discord and the parties have fully and finally settled their
disputes and have started living together and further the respondent
No.2 has stated that she does not wish to press the complaint any
further, continuation of criminal proceedings will be an exercise in
futility and justice in the case demands that the dispute between the
parties is put to an end and peace is restored; securing the ends of
justice being the ultimate guiding factor. It would be expedient to
quash the subject FIR and the consequent proceedings emanating
therefrom.
