Court's or Judge's orders ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Smt. S.N. Deshpande, Advocate for Applicant. Shri T.A.Mirza, A.P.P. for Respondent. CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATED : OCTOBER 23, 2008. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. No notice need be issued to respondent No.1. 2. The complainant herself seeks quashing of her own F.I.R. for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of the Penal Code contenting that she and her husband have settled all their disputes and consent terms have been filed in the Family Court. One of the terms whereof is that the complainant would co-operate with her husband in withdrawing the case under Section 498-A of the Penal Code. 2 3. Though the offence punishable under Section 498-A of the Penal Code is not compoundable, considering the intention of the parties to lead peaceful life in future, it would be inappropriate to drag them to the Court to fight each other in respect of the old incident. The application is, therefore, allowed. 4. F.I.R. No.330/2007 and proceedings in Criminal Case No.1418/2008, which came to be filed in sequel to investigation to be carried out in respect of the said offence, are quashed. JUDGE RR.
