IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5448 of 2007 MD.RAIS @ MANTU SAHEB & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 6 29.8.2008 Mr. Lav Kush Kumar, learned counsel for O.P. No. 2 has appeared in Court and has supported the facts stated in the supplementary affidavit filed by the petitioners on 21.2.2008 to the effect that the complainant – O.P. No. 2, Shabnam, the wife of petitioner no. 3, has since January 2008 started living in the matrimonial home pursuant to the parties having amicably settled their disputes and differences. Since the probable breakdown of the marriage between petitioner no. 3 and O.P. No. 2 has been retrieved by the amicable settlement between the parties, this Court should not put a clog in the settlement of the disputes. Accordingly, taking of cognizance under section 498A I.P.C. as against the petitioners is hereby quashed along with the criminal proceeding arising out of Complaint Case No. 497(C) of 2006. As a result the application is allowed and the entire criminal proceeding arising out of Complaint Case No. 497(C) of 2006 is hereby quashed. Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
