Respondent No.2 is also present in person, who has been identified by Mr. Saurav Garg, learned counsel for respondent No.2. Petitioners as well as respondent No.2 have stated before me that they have absolutely no grievance against each other and now respondent No.2 is happily residing in her matrimonial home with petitioner No.3. Respondent No.2 further states that she does not want any criminal proceeding against her husband petitioner No.3 and in-laws petitioners No.1, 2 and 4. Petitioners state that since respondent No.2 is residing with them, they undertake to provide full love and affection to respondent CRM No. M-24982 of 2011 -2- No.2 and shall never give any chance of complaint to her. Both the parties have stated that Annexure P-2 is the compromise arrived at between the parties and both the parties admit the same. Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of B.S. Joshi and others Vs. State of Haryana and another, (2003) 4 SCC 675 has ruled that any criminal proceeding out of the matrimonial dispute can be quashed if good sense prevailed and parties have amicably settled the dispute and residing together. Keeping in mind peace and cordial relations between the parties and to secure the ends of justice, in my opinion, this is the fittest case where criminal proceedings should not be allowed to go on. Consequently, I direct let FIR No.166 dated 24.7.2010 registered with Police Station Chheharta, Amritsar City, under Sections 420, 406, 498-A IPC be quashed. Petition stands allowed accordingly. (Alok Singh) Judge December 01, 2011 R.S.
