The parties have entered into compromise whereby they have resolved their dispute and the opposite party no. 2 has resumed cohabitation with her husband. She has stated that now there is no dispute left with her husband and she wants closure of the criminal proceedings and has also supported the request of the applicants for quashing the criminal proceedings. 5. I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. 6. Considering the fact that the dispute between the parties is personal in nature and ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of B. S. Joshi and others versus State of Haryana and another :(2003) 4 SCC 675, Nikhil Merchant versus C.B.I. and another : (2008) 9 SCC 677, Manoj Sharma versus State and others : (2008) 16 SCC 1, Gian Singh versus Station of Punjab: (2010) 15 SCC 118 and Narinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and another: (2014) 6 SCC 466, it would be appropriate in the facts and circumstances of the case to quash the criminal proceedings as continuance of the criminal proceedings would be an exercise in futility. 7. In view of the fact that the parties have settled their dispute outside the Court by way of compromise arrived at between the parties and law laid down by the Supreme Court of India, the present application is allowed and the impugned charge sheet dated 25.08.2023 filed in Case Crime No.0447 of 2023, under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 IPC lodged at Police Station Kotwali Nagar, District Sultanpur, including the summoning order dated 16.09.2023 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sultanpur in Criminal Case No.8869 of 2023 (State of U.P.
