Heard learned Counsel for the Petitioners and learned Counsel for the Respondent No.2. 2. The Petitioners are seeking to quash the FIR bearing C.R. No. 625 of 2022 registered with Vijapur Naka Police Station, Solapur, at the behest of Respondent No.2. Quashing is sought by consent of the Respondent No.2. 3. Petitioner No.1 is the husband of Respondent No.2 and Petitioner Nos.2 and 3 are the relatives of Petitioner No.1. The Patil-SR 1 of 3 93 Wp-522-2023.doc Respondent No.2 (wife) iled the subject FIR against the Petitioners for the ofences punishable under Sections 498-A, 323, 504 and 506 read with 34 of IPC. 4. Learned counsel for the parties submitted that in the meantime, parties have decided to amicably resolve their disputes and misunderstandings. It has been stated that Petitioner No.1 and the Respondent No. 2 will be residing together for the well being and in the interest of their two minor children. 5. The parties have placed on record two aidavits, one on behalf of Petitioner No.1 and the other on behalf of the Respondent No.2. Those aidavits are taken on record and marked “X” and “X-1” for identiication. 6. The Petitioners and the Respondent No.2 are personally present in Court and they are identiied by their respective advocates. Parties assure this Court that they have resolved their diferences and they will be residing together. It is further stated that Respondent No.2 shall be withdrawing all the cases mentioned in paragraph No.5 of her aidavit, within 15 days. 7. In the light of above, we are satisied that no fruitful purpose will be served by continuing the criminal prosecution of Petitioners as that will be only an abuse of the process of Court. The Respondent No.2 is not going to depose against the Petitioners, therefore, continuing the Patil-SR 2 of 3 93 Wp-522-2023.doc criminal prosecution of Petitioners will only add to the agony of parties as there is no possibility of conviction. In any case, it is a it case in view of the approach of parties which deserves appreciation and the fact that they have decided to reside together in the interest of their minor children is suicient for this Court to quash the FIR. In our opinion, therefore, the present petition deserves to be allowed. Petition is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a) and FIR bearing C.R. No. 625 of 2022 registered with Vijapuar Naka Police Station, Solapur is hereby quashed and set aside. [Ajit B. Kadethankar, J.] [M. S. Karnik, J.] Patil-SR 3 of 3
