Cr.MMO No.46 of 2007. 21.11.2007. Present: Mr. Sanjeev Kuthiala, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. P.M.Negi, Dy. Advocate General, for the respondent-State. Heard Mr. Kuthiala, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Mr. P.M. Negi, learned Deputy Advocate General, appearing for the respondent. Since both the petitioners inter se have now settled their pending disputes and have also compromised, resulting in a divorce decree having been passed between themselves as well as the withdrawal of Section 125 Cr.P.C. application filed by the first petitioner against the second petitioner, in my considered opinion, the interests of justice shall be served if the pending criminal proceedings in the Court of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class (2), Amb arising out of FIR No.31 of 2005 dated 23rd February, 2005 (Police Station, Gagret, District Una) are quashed and set aside. This Court feels that the compromise having been entered into between the parties shall also terminate the bitterness and strained relations between them. Since the parties have amicably settled their pending disputes, no useful purpose shall be served in keeping the proceedings alive any more. The petition is allowed. The aforesaid proceedings pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class (2), Amb are hereby quashed with all the consequences. The petition is disposed of. 2 Cr.MPs No.272 and 273 of 2007. In view of the disposal of the main petition, both the applications shall stand disposed of. 21st November, 2007. (V.K. Gupta), C.J. (tr)
