IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5934 of 2008 MITHILESH KUAR & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 02/ 30.03.2009 In brief Complaint Case No. 464 of 2004 is pending in the Court of S.D.J.M., Purnea. Allegation levelled in the petition is about demand of dowry and causing of cruelty at petitioners’ hand but later matter reconciled. Learned counsel for the petitioners and O.P. No. 2 wife of petitioner no. 1 are present and are making a joint submission that after redressal of the grievances of the parties during the pendency of the Criminal Case before S.D.J.M., Purnea is not proper. He is making reliance on (2003) 4 SCC 175 in the case of B.S. JOSHI AND OTHERS Versus STATE OF HARYANA AND ANOTHER that even in non-compoundable offences High Court is empowered to quash the proceeding. If grievance of the wife does not remain to decide and they are residing together leading a happy life, I find it not proper to leave the proceeding to remain continue. Accordingly, this application is allowed and order of cognizance dated 1.3.2005 is hereby quashed. S.Sb/- (Mandhata Singh, J.)
