Learned counsel for the parties submits that, since the disputes stemmed from matrimonial discord and the parties have now settled their differences amicably, continuing with the criminal proceedings would serve no useful purpose. It is further submitted that the opposite parties to the respective applications have no objection to the quashing of the proceedings, and the settlement was voluntarily entered into without any coercion or undue influence. 6. The Supreme Court, in Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & Another, (2012) 10 SCC 303, held that in cases arising from matrimonial disputes, where the parties have amicably settled their differences, the High Court can exercise its inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the proceedings, provided the matter does not involve heinous offences or crimes against society at large. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the offences, particularly the fact that the disputes arose out of a matrimonial discord, and that the parties have voluntarily settled their differences, no useful purpose would be served by continuing with the criminal proceedings. 3 of 4 8. In the given circumstances, the entire criminal proceedings in the aforementioned cases mentioned in para 3 are hereby quashed in accordance with the terms of compromise dated 26.10.2024 arrived at between the parties. 9.
