IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Writ Petition No.599 of 2008 (Dilip Singh Laxmanrao Raut and another v. State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri Mohan Sudame, Advocate for Applicant. Shri S.S. Doifode, APP for Non-Applicant. Coram : R.C. Chavan, J. Dated : 22nd January, 2009 Rule. By consent made returnable forthwith. This petition by the original complainant as well as the accused, who are husband and wife, seeks to have further proceedings in Criminal Case No.90 of 1999 quashed and set aside on the ground that after the wife filed her report on 26-4-1999, the parties amicably settled their disputes and started residing together. They are still residing together and after the incident, in fact two issues are born. The parties have supported their petition by filing affidavits of both of them and they have been duly identified by their counsel Shri Sudame. Heard. In view of the judgment of the Apex Court in B.S. Joshi and others v. State of Haryana and another, reported at AIR 2003 SC 1386, and the fact that both the husband and wife have in fact resolved their disputes, the criminal prosecution would unnecessarily create hurdles in their family life. The petition is, therefore, allowed. The proceedings in Criminal Case No.90 of 1999 are quashed. Rule made absolute in the above terms. Judge. pdl
