Mr. Gaurav Gupta for respondent no.2. This criminal misc. petition is directed against the order dated 15.2.2008 passed by Addl. Civil Judge (Jr.Div.) and Judicial Magistrate No.7, Jaipur City, Jaipur in criminal case no.278/2006 whereby the compromise filed by the petitioners and the respondent no.2 has been rejected on the ground that the offences sought to be compromised are not compoundable. The petitioners are facing trial of the offences under Sections 498A, 406 IPC. Petitioner no.1 Amar Nath and his wife Manju, respondent no.2 as identified by their advocates are present in the Court today and state that a compromise has been reached in the matter and now both of them are living together peacefully. The respondent no.2 Manju states that she does not want to continue the procedings any more. Where the parties in a matrimonial matter have entered into a compromise and the offences are not compoundable the court can, in the exercise of its inherent powers, quash the proceedings so that the parties may live in a peaceful manner and further litigation between them may not continue. Consequently, the petition is allowed and the proceedings of criminal case no.278/2006, State vs. Vidya Devi & Ors. pending in the court of Civil Judge (Jr. 2 Div.) and Judicial Magistrate, No.7, Jaipur City, Jaipur are hereby quashed.
