Today the complainant who is respondent no. 1 herein is present before the 2 cra552.10 court. He has filed an affidavit stating that since the judgment of conviction he has settled all the issues with the applicants and that he does not have any grievance against the applicants. The affidavit mentions that the daughter of the complainant has since been married in the year 1998. The respondent had preferred an application before the lower appellate court for compounding the offences which was rejected as the offence is not compoundable. He states in clear terms that he has no objection if the judgment and order of the Sessions Court is quashed and set aside as the entire dispute is finally put to rest to enable both the sides to peacefully lead their respective lives. 2) On the query made by the Court, respondent no. 1/complainant states that the contents in the affidavit tendered by him are correct. He has gone through the same and he reiterates that he has no objection if the judgment and order of the Sessions Court is quashed and set aside. 3) In view of the settlement of the dispute between the applicants 3 cra552.10 and respondent no. 1 and particularly in view of the marriage of the daughter of respondent no.1, no purpose would be served by continuing with the proceedings. Hence, Criminal Revision application is allowed. The impugned Judgment and order dated 26th November, 2010 is set aside. Criminal Appeal No. 64 of 2002 is allowed. The conviction of applicants under section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act and u/s. 420 read with 34 of I.P.C. is set aside. The applicants are acquitted of the offences punishable under section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act and u/s. 420 read with 34 of I.P.C. As the Criminal Revision Application is allowed, the application for bail does not survive. Hence, the same is dismissed. (Judge)
