No. 3020/ 2011 & STC No. 1318/2011 dated 10th May, 2011 registered at Jodhbhavi Peth Police Station, Solapur, Tal & Dist­Solapur for the offences punishable under Sections 504 and 506 Indian Penal Code be quashed. The private­respondent no.2 who is the complainant has joined this prayer. She is present in Court. The counsel appearing for the said respondent, states that, the effect of granting relief in terms of prayer clause (B) of this petition has been explained to respondent no.2 and she has understood the same. Respondent * 2 * WP.2897­2011 12.10.2011 no.2 who is present in Court, reiterates that, she has not consented under pressure or under force, but has volunteered to settle the dispute amicably with the petitioner. Considering the fact that the dispute is essentially of private nature and would not involve public policy, we are inclined to acede to the request of the petitioner and respondent no.2 by allowing writ petition in terms of prayer clause (B). B] “ The FIR/Complaint in Crime No. 3020/2011 dated 10.05.2011 registered at Jodhbhavi Peth Police Station, Solapur, Tq. & Dist. Solapur for the offence punishable U/sec. 504 and 506 may kindly be quash and set aside and for that purpose issue necessary order.” 2. We are inclined to do so in the interest of justice as also because the offences in question are compoundable and the parties have decided to amicably resolve all their differences. Hence, the petition is allowed in terms of prayer clause (B). [A.M. KHANWILKAR, J] [P.D. KODE, J]
