JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. Rajiv Joshi, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Amandeep Singh Rai, AAG, Punjab. Mr. K.S. Dhanora, Advocate, for the complainant. Complainant in person. SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing the FIR No.23 dated 14.3.2010, under Sections 363,366 of Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC'), Police Station Nurmahal, District- Jalandhar and consequent proceedings arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has performed marriage with Sonia, daughter of the complainant. Complainant, who is present in person alongwith his counsel, has submitted that he has no objection if the FIR in question is ordered to be quashed as his daughter Sonia has performed marriage with the petitioner and he has no objection qua the said marriage. Since the petitioner has performed marriage with the daughter of Crl. Misc. No. M- 16149 of 2010 (O&M) 2 the complainant, the continuation of criminal proceedings would be nothing but an abuse of process of law. Accordingly, the present petition is allowed. The FIR No.23 dated 14.3.2010, under Sections 363,366 of IPC, Police Station Nurmahal, District- Jalandhar and consequent proceedings, arising therefrom, are quashed.
