The State of Bihar, 2. Shiv Kumar Yadav, son of Kailash Prasad Yadav, Mohalla Ganga Bigha (Near AP Colony) PS Rampur, district Gaya – opp. parties. 5 17.3.2010 This application has been filed for quashing the entire proceedings including the order, dated 17.12.2007 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Patna City in C.A. No. 153/2007. On 26.2.2010 the girl Nidhi Pratap along with her father and the boy Abhay Kumar were present in court. This court questioned Nidhi Pratap when she stated that she has not married Abhay Kumar. They were friends and it has wrongly been alleged by the informant/complainant that they had run away to get married. Both the parties who were present in court agreed that they did not want to pursue the case pending in different courts against them. This court accordingly directed the parties to file affidavits stating these facts. An affidavit has been filed today on behalf of father of the girl and Abhay Kumar. In the said affidavit it is mentioned that the parties do not wish to pursue the matter and are ready to withdraw the following cases : 1) Complaint Case No. 153/2007 instituted 2 under sections 365, 363 and 120B/34 of the Penal Code by father of the boy who is now dead and has been substituted by Abhay Kumar. 2) Matrimonial Case No. 152/2006 filed under section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act by Abhay Kumar before the Principal Judge, Family Court, Gaya, and 3) Complaint cum Protest Petition No. 180/2007/Trial No. 1077/2008 filed by Birendra Pratap, uncle of Nidhi Pratap pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya. Considering the peculiar facts of the case and the fact that it involves two young lives which ought not to be ruined fighting litigations which would not solve the problems between the parties, rather, they would completely disrupt lives of not only the young girl and boy but also the family members, I direct that the parties should withdraw the aforesaid three pending cases and any other case. This order is being passed in presence of the parties and their counsel with consent. It is submitted that the matriculation certificate has been filed in the court of the Principal Judge, Family Court, Gaya. The certificates shall be returned to Nidhi Pratap or her representative by 3 Abhay Kumar after they are withdrawn from the court of the Principal Judge. This application is, thus, disposed of. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
