This application has been filed for quashing and setting aside the order passed by the Sessions Court, Thane dismissing criminal revision application No.111 of 2005 on 29.3.2006. An order is also sought for quashing the order passed by the JMFC, Vashi, Navi Mumbai rejecting the application for discharge. 2. The parties were directed by orders of this Court passed in July 2007 to explore the possibility of an amicable settlement. It appears that no settlement was possible at that point of time and an affidavit to that effect was filed by applicant No.1 on 30.10.2007. However, there has been a change of heart and both applicant No.1 and the respondent have arrived at a mutual reconciliation. Consent terms are taken on : 2 : record signed by the applicants and respondent No.1 who is present in Court. These consent terms have been witnessed by three persons of the community to which the applicants and the respondent No.1 belong. 3. I have ascertained from Respondent No.1 whether she has any grievance against the applicants and whether she wanted to continue with the criminal proceedings pending against the applicants. Respondent No.1 has replied in the negative and has stated that she does not want to prosecute the proceedings pending against the applicants. The charge against the applicants in C.C. No.384 of 2002 is of commission of offences under sections 498A, 323 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. However, now that the Respondent No.1 has no grievance against the applicants as stated in the consent terms and in Court today by her, there is no reason to continue with these proceedings. In view of the principles laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of B.S. Joshi v/s. State of Haryana & anr. reported in AIR 2003 SC 1386 AIR 2003 SC 1386 AIR 2003 SC 1386, the proceedings bearing C.C. No.384 of 2002 are quashed and set aside. 4. Parties to act in accordance with the consent terms. 5. Criminal application is disposed of accordingly.
