JUDGMENT
1. The present is a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking quashing of FIR No.431/2015 under sections 498A/406/506 IPC registered at Police Station- Baba Hari Dass Nagar and the proceedings arising therefrom. 2016:DHC:4303-DB W.P.(CRL.) 1637/2016
2. It is nothing but good news as appositely stated by Mr. Rahul Mehra, Standing Counsel (Criminal) appearing on behalf of the police. It is further stated that the petitioner-husband as well as the complainant-wife on account of whose matrimonial discord the subject FIR came to be registered, have reconciled their differences and have been living together happily, once again since 2nd November, 2015.
3. It would only be fair and appropriate to enable the couple to renew their vows and attempt to live happily ever after. I am also informed at the Bar that the petition seeking maintenance under section 125 Cr.P.C. instituted by the wife has since been withdrawn unconditionally.
4. Consequently, while wishing the reunited couple a long and happy life, it would be just, expedient and necessary to remove the only road-block that may become an obstacle in their path of happiness.
5. Resultantly, FIR No.431/2015 under sections 498A/406/506 IPC registered at Police Station- Baba Hari Dass Nagar and the proceedings arising therefrom are hereby set aside and quashed qua the petitioners.
6. The writ petition is allowed and disposed of accordingly.
