For the O.P.:- Mr. Rahamtulla, Adv. 4 21.04.2011 This application has been filed for quashing the order dated 21.08.2006 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Katihar in Complaint Case No. 2445 of 2005. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the husband and the wife have filed a compromise petition in Complaint Case No. 2445 of 2005. The Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Katihar is directed to examine the compromise petition, take the statements of the informant and thereafter pass an order in this case. It is made clear that if the husband and wife 2 have compromised the matter, by both agreeing to live with each other amicably, there is no need of continuing both the criminal proceedings as the criminal proceeding would be a wastage of time and misuse of the process of law. The application is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. Bhardwaj/ ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
