Learned counsel for the petitioners and respondent No.2 in unison submit that during the pendency of the proceedings before this Court, the parties to the lis have settled their dispute amicably by drawing up certain terms and conditions. The parties have filed a joint memo under Section 359 of BNSS / Section 320 of the Cr.P.C., the earlier regime, supported by an affidavit sworn in by all the parties, before this Court reporting such settlement. 3. The joint memo reads as follows: “………………….. 3. we submits that the 2nd respondent lodged complaint against the petitioners with misconception of facts, hence the 2nd respondent entered in to compromise before the elders of the family and well-wishers not to proceed the criminal case each other with free will and consent and there was no force or threat each other in their personal life and they agreed they will not interfere with each other. 4. we submits that in terms of the settlement arrived between the parties the respondent No.2 has agreed to quash the proceedings pending in CC.No.50410/2019 for an offences punishable under section 498(A), 504, 506 R/w 34 of IPC pending before the Hon'ble XI ACJM Bangalore. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:1782 CRL.P No. 13342 of 2023 5. we submits that there has been no collusion or force fraud or any undue influence entering into this compromise in the aforesaid manner similarly both the parties have no future claims each other.” In the light of the fact that the parties have arrived at settlement and since it is a marital dispute, I deem it appropriate to accept the joint memo and the affidavit and terminate the proceedings against the petitioners, as the allegations are not against the State. 4. For the aforesaid reasons, I pass the following: ORDER (i) The criminal petition is disposed. (ii) The proceedings in C.C.No.50410/2019, pending before the XI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bengaluru, stand quashed. Sd/- (M.NAGAPRASANNA) JUDGE NVJ List No.: 1 Sl No.: 254 CT:SS
