S. No. 64 Regular Cause List IN THE HIGH COURT 0F JAMMU & KASHMIR AND LADAKH AT SRINAGAR CRM(M) No. 689/2025 CrlM No. 1734/2025 Mohammad Yaqoob Baba and Anr. …Appellant(s)/Petitioner(s) Through: Ms. Miss Sami Shah, Advocate Vs. Union Territory of J&K Th. SHO P/S Harwan. ...Respondent(s) Through: None CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PARIHAR, JUDGE ORDER 17.09.2026 1. In terms of the previous order, the parties had sought time to appear before the Registrar Judicial of this Court for recording their statements on oath in support of the compromise arrived at between them, whereby they have settled their matrimonial discord. Their statements have accordingly been recorded by the Registrar Judicial and have been perused. Petitioner No. 2, who is the complainant in FIR No. 56/2024 registered for offences under Sections 85, 115(2) and 351(3) of the BNSS, had raised allegations of matrimonial cruelty and harassment, which led to the registration of the aforesaid FIR. 2. It appears that during the pendency of the proceedings, the parties have amicably settled their disputes and resumed their matrimonial relationship in terms of a compromise reduced to writing on 11.09.2026. The compromise incorporates certain terms and 2 CRM(M) No. 689/2025 CrlM No. 1734/2025 conditions which have been duly acknowledged and accepted by both the parties. 3. From the statements made by both the petitioners, i.e., the accused as well as the complainant, it transpires that the parties have abided by the terms and conditions stipulated in the said compromise. Though the offences for which the proceedings have been initiated are stated to be non-compoundable, having regard to the fact that the genesis of the FIR lies in matrimonial discord, which now stands amicably resolved through persuasion and intervention of the family members, no useful purpose would be served by permitting the criminal proceedings to continue. Even otherwise, once the complainant has resolved not to support the prosecution in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties, continuation of the criminal proceedings would serve no fruitful purpose. 4. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the present petition is allowed. Consequently, FIR No. 56/2024 registered for offences under Sections 85, 115(2) and 351(3) of the BNSS, along with all proceedings emanating therefrom, including the investigation and the charge-sheet, if any, shall stand quashed, leaving the parties to enjoy their matrimonial bliss. 5. The petition, along with the connected CrLM(s), shall stand disposed of accordingly.
