the parties have been recorded and they have voluntarily compromised the

matter without any pressure or coercion.

Counsel for the State and respondent No. 2 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

‘SectionGian 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. No.

94 dated 2.9.2016 for offence punishable under Sections 406, Section498A of the

Indian Penal Code registered at Police Station Women Jhajjar, District

Jhajjar and proceedings emanating therefrom stand quashed qua the

petitioner(s).
