Sr. No. 33 HIGH COURT OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT JAMMU Case:- CRM(M) No. 83/2022 Dharampal Singh …. Appellant(s)/Petitioner(s) Through:- None V/s Union Territory of J&K and others …..Respondent(s) Through:- None CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PARIHAR, JUDGE ORDER 20.02.2026 None for the parties. Earlier, in terms of order dated 09.05.2022, the parties had apprised this Court that their matrimonial dispute had been amicably settled and accordingly prayed for quashing of the FIR by placing reliance upon the Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in case titled as Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab and others, reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303. Subsequent thereto, the parties had appeared before the Registrar Judicial of this Court on 15.07.2022 and made statements on oath to the effect that they had resolved all their disputes and were happily residing together as husband and wife. Thus, they have prayed for quashing of FIR No. 99/2019 dated 14.06.2019 for offences under Section 498-A and 406 RPC, registered at Police Station, Bakshi Nagar, Jammu. Thereafter, the matter could not be taken up and has come up before this Court today. CRM(M) No. 83/2022 Given the compromise having taken place the parties are not appearing. That is why, when the matter was taken up, there was no representation on behalf of the parties. It appears that the parties have amicably settled their matter and though the offences rather non- compoundable but this court in order to settled the matter in its entirety is required to step in and quash the proceedings so as to avoid further inconvenience, if any. Relying upon the aforesaid judgment (Supra), this Court finds that continuation of further proceedings would be a sheer wastage of Court time and would not advance the cause of justice nor the compromise affected inter se parties can be taken to have affected any public policy at large. Since the disputes inter se the parties have been amicably settled so the existence of the FIR and its consequences upon the petitioner and the respondents is surely to agonise their sufferings. In that background, the petition is allowed. FIR No. 99/2019 dated 14.06.2019 and all proceedings subsequent thereto shall stand quashed. ( SANJAY PARIHAR ) JUDGE JAMMU 20.02.2026 Nikhil
