Consent terms are filed in the Competent Court. It is agreed between parties in these consent terms that the Criminal proceedings would not be pressed. 2. The Applicants and the Second Respondent confirm the consent terms and all the agreements recorded therein. In the light of the said consent terms, no fruitful purpose will be served by allowing the criminal proceedings and more particularly, the subject Criminal Complaint alleging offence 2 punishable under Section 498A of I.P.C. to continue. In fact, that would be an abuse of the process of the Court. 3. In such circumstances, this Application is disposed off. The subject Criminal Case is quashed by consent of parties. (S.C.
