DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 1st February 2010. PC :- 1. Heard. 2. The application is to quash and set aside the proceedings pending on the file of learned Magistrate, 24th Court arising out of FIR No. 389 of 2006, alleging offences punishable under section 498A and 406 of the IPC. In the substantial proceedings in the family court, being Petition No.A 1205 of 2008, the husband and wife (accused and complainant) have signed consent terms, pursuant to which the orders came to be passed disposing off matrimonial proceedings. Now a request jointly made is to quash criminal case as no useful purpose will be served by continuation thereof. In the peculiar facts of this case, having satisfied myself that this is a fit case to quash criminal proceedings, application is allowed. Proceedings pending before the Magistrate being No.CC No.769/PW/07 are quashed and set aside. Application No.368 of 2008 does not survive in the light of disposal of this application and the same is dismissed as such. (S.C.Dharmadhikari, J.)
