The present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed with the prayer to quash the entire criminal proceedings as well as the charge- sheet dated 09.04.2018 and cognizance order dated 25.05.2018 passed in Crime No.0713 of 2017, under Sections 392, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station Delhi Gate, District Aligarh. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that:- (i) the dispute arises out of matrimonial discord. Applicant no.1 is the wife, whereas applicant no.2 is the father-in-law. (ii) the first information report came to be lodged by the opposite party no. 2 owing to some misunderstanding and misgivings between the parties and not on account of any real occurrence as alleged; (iii) there never was any criminal intent on part of the applicants nor any criminal offence as alleged had ever occurred; (iv) there is no injury caused to any party and wholly exaggerated allegations had been made in the heat of the moment owing to estranged relationship and bruised egos; (v) at present, the parties to the dispute, have resolved their differences and have made peace; (vi) therefore, in such changed circumstances, the opposite party no. 2 Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Mrityunjay Dwivedi, Shobha Vati Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A., Ravi Prakash Singh Neha And Another .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Opposite Party(s)
does not wish to press charges against the applicants. 4. It is further submitted that the parties have filed a compromise deed before the court concerned. Pursuant to the order dated 09.04.2026 passed by this Court, the parties appeared before the trial court, whereupon the compromise was duly verified by order dated 13.04.2026. The copy of the verification order dated 13.04.2026 has been sent to this Court by the In- charge/ Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Court No.06, Aligarh along with her letter dated 05.05.2026. 5. Sri Anup Singh, Advocate holding brief of Sri Ravi Prakash Singh, learned counsel for opposite party no.2 does not dispute the submissions advanced by the counsel for the applicants or the correctness of the documents relied upon by him.
He submits that the opposite party no.2 has no objection if the proceedings of the aforesaid case are quashed. 6. In view of the fact that the dispute appears to be purely of a personal nature being a matrimonial dispute that has been mutually settled between the parties, to their satisfaction, no useful purpose would be served in allowing such a prosecution to proceed any further. 7. Thus, in view of the well settled principles of law as laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in B.S. Joshi v. State of Haryana, 2003(4) SCC 675 , as well as Nikhil Merchant v. Central Bureau of Investigation and another, J.T., 2008 (9) SC 192, the proceedings of the aforesaid case, in so far the applicants are concerned, are hereby set aside. 8. The present application is, accordingly, allowed. September 8, 2026 Abhishek A482 No. 30153 of 2018 2 (Vivek Varma, J.) Digitally signed by :- ABHISHEK SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
