After conclusion of the investigation, charge-sheet against the petitioner was filed for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A and 406 of IPC before learned trial Court. During trial, both the parties have entered into compromise and amicably settled their dispute and submitted an application under Section 320(2) of Cr.P.C., along with a compromise deed before the learned trial Court. Learned trial Court vide order dated 26.02.2018, partly allowed the application and attested the compromise for the offence punishable under Section 406 of IPC as the same is compoundable and the petitioner has been acquitted from the offence punishable under Section 406 of IPC, however learned trial Court has not passed any order in respect of the offence under Section 498-A of IPC, as the same is non-compoundable. 4. From the perusal of the record, it is evident that both the parties have entered into compromise and have settled their mat- rimonial dispute amicably, therefore, the present petition deserves to be allowed and the criminal proceedings pending in Criminal Case No.330/2014 before learned trial Court arising out of FIR No.19/2014 registered at Mahila Thana, Jaipur City (East) be quashed and set aside. 5.
