HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANMOHAN SINGH
28.05.2015 Crl.M.A. No. 6568/2015 Exemption allowed, subject to all just exceptions.
The application is disposed of.
Crl.M.C. 1831/2015 Petitioner and respondent No.2 are present in Court who have been identified by the counsel for the petitioner.
This is a petition filed by the petitioner under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking quashing of FIR No.205/2003 under Sections
498-A/406 IPC, Police Station Lodhi Colony, Delhi, and the proceedings arising therefrom. The aforesaid FIR is registered on the basis of complaint lodged by the complainant/respondent No. 2, wife of petitioner herein.
The facts of the case are that marriage between the petitioner and
2015:DHC:11225 ) respondent No. 2 was solemnized on
28th July, 1987. They started living separately since February, 2003. Since some disputes arose between the petitioner and respondent No.2, she lodged the aforesaid FIR against the petitioner.
Counsel for the petitioner states that • during the pendency of these proceedings, the parties have settled their disputes and now the petitioner and respondent No.2 are living together. However, no written document is executed between the parties.
The complainant! respondent No. 2 affirms that the matter has been settled with her own consent and now she is residing happily with her husband. She further states that she has now no grievance left against the petitioner and she wishes to withdraw the complaint filed by her against the petitioner. Counsel for the State has no objection to the same.
In view of the above facts and as they are living together peacefully, I am of the opinion that no useful purpose would be served in continuing the proceedings arising out of the above said FIR. Accordingly, the proceedings arisen from the FIR No.205/2003 under Sections 498-A1406
IPC, Police Station Lodhi Colony, Delhi, are hereby quashed.
The petition stands disposed of. Dasti.
