This writ petition is filed by one Jotinder Singh against his erstwhile wife Darpan for quashing two cases filed by his wife being C.C.No.2273/P/1992 and C.C.No.489/P/97. These cases are pending before Metropolitan Magistrate, 10th Court at Andheri, Mumbai.

There were disputes and the aforesaid complaints were filed by the wife. However, it appears that on 8.10.1998 consent terms were filed under which parties agreed to obtain decree of divorce. Term No.5 pertains to withdrawal of aforesaid cases. Both these cases are filed for alleged offence under Section 498A of the I.P.C. As the parties have amicably :2: separated and settled all their disputes in the city civil court, this is a fit case to exercise powers under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. In the circumstances, petition is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) and stands disposed of. (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
