Learned A.G.A. does not dispute the fact of the marriage between the applicant and the victim and fairly concedes that in view of the settlement and subsequent marriage, no fruitful purpose would be served by continuing the criminal proceedings. 6.

State of Punjab, (2012) 10 SCC 303 and Narinder Singh v. State of Punjab (2014) 6 SCC 466, wherein it has been held that criminal proceedings arising out of matrimonial disputes or similar cases can be quashed if the parties have resolved their differences amicably, this Court finds it appropriate to exercise its inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 7.
