Eventually, respondent no.2, filed consent affidavit before this Court, wherein she states that she has settled her matrimonial disputes with the applicant husband and happily residing with him at Hyderabad. Respondent no.2 is personally present before Court and reiterated contents of affidavit. 3. It can be observed that applicant no.1 and respondent no.2 have genuinely settled their matrimonial dispute and respondent no.2 has resumed company of applicant no.1 and they are leading happy married life. 4. In light of aforesaid factual backdrop and looking to nature of allegations in the FIR, this Court finds that observations of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in case of Narinder Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab and another reported in (2014) SCC 466 squarely applies to the facts of the 3 cran 538.2026.odt present. Reference can be given to paragraph no.31, wherein it is observed as under :- “31.Where criminal cases having overwhelmingly and pre- dominantly civil character, particularly those arising out of commercial transactions or arising out of matrimonial relationships or family disputes should be quashed when the parties have resolved their entire disputes among themselves. The possibility of conviction is remote and bleak and continuation of criminal cases would put the accused to great oppression and prejudice and extreme injustice would be caused to him by not quashing the criminal cases.” 5. In light of aforesaid exposition of law and settlement arrived at between the parties as discernible from consent affidavit filed by respondent no.2, application deserves to be allowed and the same is allowed in terms of prayer clause “B’. Criminal application stands disposed of. ( S. G. CHAPALGAONKAR, J. ) ... aaa/-f
