On perusal of the order dated 30.10.2025, passed in CRLMC No.3888 of 2024, it appears that the matter was referred to the Orissa High Court Mediation Centre for amicable resolution of the dispute with the consent of the learned counsel for both the sides. It further appears that the learned Mediator, vide report dated 07.01.2026, reported that the mediation proceedings were successful. As agreed by both sides, the dispute between the parties has been resolved through compromise subject to the terms and conditions reflected in the application filed under Section 13(B) of Hindu Marriage Act before the learned Judge, Family Court, Cuttack. 4. Learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the State, on the other hand, submitted that since the matter has been amicably resolved as per the report of the High Court of Orissa Mediation Centre and the parties have agreed to the terms and conditions as contemplated in the petition filed under Section 13(B) of Hindu Marriage Act before the Family Court, Cuttack, he has no objection if this Court passes necessary orders taking into consideration the mutual consent of the parties. 5. Taking into consideration the aforesaid factual background and the fact that the matter has been amicably resolved at the High Court of Orissa Mediation Centre, and further that the parties are agreeable to the terms of compromise as contemplated in the petition filed under Section13(B) of Hindu Marriage Act before the Family Court, Cuttack, this Court has no hesitation in quashing the entire criminal proceeding in C.T. Case No.1117 of 2024, arising out of Bhubaneswar Mahila P.S. Case No.109 of 2024, pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Bhubaneswar. 6.
