MISHRA, SON OF NOT KNOWN, SUB-INSPECTOR OF POLICE, NANPUR POLICE STATION, DISTRICT SITAMARHI. 5. ABDULLAH, SON OF LATE JAHID HUSSAIN, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE LOHAITA, P.S. NANPUR, DISTRICT SITAMARHI. ----- OPPOSITE PARTIES ----------- 3 25.3.2010 Heard the parties. This application has been filed for quashing of the First Information Report of Nanpur P.S. Case No. 146 of 2009 registered under Sections 366(A)/120(B)/504 of the Indian Penal Code. On 16.3.2010 while making submissions, learned counsel for the petitioner had stated that the boy in question and the girl are married and they are leading a peaceful married life. This Court had issued notice to the informant and had asked the boy and the girl to be present in Court. The young couple lives at Ahmedabad and, therefore, they could not be present but the father of the girl (Kainat Khatoon), the young girl in question and the father of the boy (Salauddin) the boy in question and the informant of this case are present in this Court. Both have stated that they have no objection to the marriage of Kainat Khatoon with Salauddin and they do not wish to pursue this case any longer. In the facts aforesaid where the allegation is that the young boy and girl have left their home to get married against the wishes of the parents and thereafter living together happily, it would 2 be abuse of the process of law and waste of time that the Court allows such criminal proceedings to continue. In the circumstances aforesaid, I quash the First Information Report of Nanpur P.S. Case No. 146 of 2009. This application is allowed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
