The petitioner and respondent No.2 appeared before the Court via video conferencing and stated that they have amicably resolved their dispute. As per the terms of the settlement, their marriage has been dissolved, and the defacto complainant has no objection to the quashing of the impugned proceedings. 5. Their statements are placed on record. 6. Although the alleged offences are cognizable and non-compoundable, given that the parties have resolved their dispute amicably, subjecting the petitioner to trial would serve no purpose. Since the probability of conviction is remote and bleak in light of the settlement, the continuation of criminal proceedings would amount to an abuse of the process of law. ORDER i. Accordingly, petition is allowed. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:9500 CRL.P No. 1584 of 2025 ii. The impugned proceedings in C.C.No.21218/2023 on the file of XXXIX Addl. CMM Court, Bangalore is hereby quashed.
