The petitioners are the husband and in-laws of the opposite party No.2. It appears that due to matrimonial dispute, the present case has been instituted. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the parties have settled their dispute. Learned counsel for the opposite party No.2 does not dispute the aforesaid fact. Attention has been drawn towards the joint compromise petition filed by the parties before the learned Principal Judge, Family Court, Garhwa, which is annexure-2, from perusal which, it appears that the parties have settled their dispute. As the matter relates to matrimonial dispute between the parties and they have already settled their dispute, allowing the criminal proceeding to continue will be an abuse of Judicial process. -2- In view of the aforesaid facts, this Court is inclined to excise the power of under Section 482 Cr.P.C. The entire criminal proceeding in connection with Garhwa P.S. Case No.42 of 2015, corresponding to G.R. No.231 of 2015 is quashed. This Cr. M. P. is allowed.
