Grounds pleaded are that the parties have compromised the matter with the intervention of respectables. All matrimonial disputes have been amicably settled. The parties had filed a petition for divorce by mutual consent under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act. They have also tendered compromise-deed (Annexure P-3). Having regard to the fact that all matrimonial differences have been resolved, this Court is of opinion that no useful purpose would be served by allowing the criminal proceedings to continue against the petitioners. In view of the above, the petition is accepted, FIR No.60 dated April 28th, 2007 under Section 498A IPC, registered in Police Station Sadar, Batala, District Gurdaspur and subsequent proceedings arising therefrom, are hereby quashed.
