DATED : JULY 23, 2010 P.C. :- 1 Heard Counsel for the applicants, Counsel for respondent no.2 and APP for the State. 2 The applicants have filed this application for quashing the complaint by consent of the complainant. 3 It is the case of the complainant that she 2 Crim.Appln. No.3294/2010 met applicant no.1  Hiren Dhanak on Jeevansathi.com two years before filing of the complaint and they met on 28th June, 2009 and they decided to take the relationship further and therefore, started leaving together. She came to know that he had another girl in his life. According to the complainant, she thereafter learned that he was meeting other girls on the same matrimonial website. It is further alleged that on 3rd April, 2010 when she had gone to his place, he gave her a drink and after consuming that drink, she felt drowsy and in the morning, she realized that the applicant had taken advantage of her and therefore, the said complaint has been filed. 4 Both the parties have now settled the dispute. Respondent no.2 is present in the court. She has stated that she has no objection if the said complaint is quashed. She has filed an affidavit-in- reply in which she has stated that she has no objection if the said complaint is quashed. 3 Crim.Appln. No.3294/2010 5 Keeping in mind the ratio of the judgment in the case of Madan Mohan Abbot vs. State of Punjab, reported in AIR 2008 Supreme Court 1969 and the judgment in the case of Jagdish Chanana & Ors. vs. State of Haryana & Anr., reported in AIR 2008 Supreme Court 1968, in my view, there is no reason why this complaint should not be quashed on the same ground. 6 In the result, the criminal application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). Criminal Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
