CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. DATE : FEBRUARY 22, 2010. P.C.: 1. The petitioners have filed the present petition for quashing and setting aside F.I.R. No.208/2008 filed under sections 498-A, 406 and 506 (II) of the Indian Penal Code along with C.C. No.2687 of 2009 registered by the respondent no.1 at the instance of the respondent no.2. 2. There appears to be a matrimonial dispute between the respondent no.2 and the petitioner no.1. It further appears that the said F.I.R. was registered on account of matrimonial disputes between the said parties. 2 3. It now appears that the matter has been amicably settled between the parties and the petitioner no.1 and the respondent no.2 have agreed to take divorce by mutual consent. A copy of the Consent Terms filed in M.J. Petition No.864 of 2009 has been filed on record. The same is marked `X’ for identification. The respondent no.2 is personally present in Court and she reiterates the amicable settlement of the matter. She states that she does not press any allegations made by her against the petitioners. 4. In view of the judgement of the apex Court in B.S.Joshi v. State of Haryana (2003 (4) SCC 675), since the present proceedings arose out of the matrimonial dispute between the parties and since the parties have now amicably resolved their disputes, I find that this is a fit case where under section 482 of the Cr.P.C., I should quash the criminal proceedings. 5. Accordingly, rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). B. R. GAVAI, J.
