Leave to amend to change the C.R. number in the affidavit of Respondent No.2. This application has been filed for quashing the proceedings arising out of C.R. No.74 of 2007 registered with Nerul Police station, Navi Mumbai i.e. criminal case No.464 of 2007 pending before the JMFC, CBD Belapur. Respondent No.2 was married to applicant No.1. By mutual consent, their marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce. It appears that Respondent No.2 had filed an FIR alleging that the applicants had committed offences punishable under section 498A r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Respondent No.2 who is present in Court has filed an affidavit contending that she no longer has any grievance against any of the applicants and that she does not have any objection for quashing the FIR and the : 2 : proceedings therefrom. She also stated in para 7 of the affidavit that she has not been pressurised by anybody to file the present affidavit or to settle the dispute amicably with the applicants. 2. In this view of the matter, it would be futile to continue with the criminal case No.464 of 2007 arising out of C.R. No.74 of 2007. This is because the parties have settled the dispute which is primarily a personal one. There would in all probability be no evidence in order to convict the applicants. As held in the case of B.S. Joshi & Ors. v/s. State of Haryana & Ors., AIR 2003 SC 1386, AIR 2003 SC 1386, AIR 2003 SC 1386, this Court under section 482 of the Cr.P.C. can quash the proceedings in the given fact situation. 3. Application is allowed in terms of prayer clause (c). Application is disposed of accordingly.
