Heard learned counsel for opposite party No. 3. 3. Learned counsel for opposite party No. 3 submits that the marriage of the complainant, Smt. Reena, was solemnized with accused-applicant Sunil @ Bablu on 28.04.2005. Subsequently, a matrimonial dispute arose between the parties, pursuant to which a complaint case was instituted by the complainant under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. During the course of trial, a compromise was entered into between the parties, pursuant to which the accused-applicants were acquitted of the charges levelled against them. 4. Learned counsel has produced before the Court, for its perusal, a certified copy of the judgment and order dated 22.01.2015 and submits that, in view of the acquittal of the accused-applicants, the present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been rendered infructuous. 5. I have heard learned counsel for opposite party No. 3 and perused the record. 6. From the perusal of the record, it is apparent that the present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed seeking the following reliefs: “(i) quash the order dated 02.08.2008 (Annexure-5) passed by the Chief Judicial Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Dharam Pal Singh, S.Niranjan Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : Avanish Mishra, Govt.

Sunil and others, under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station Kotwali, Orai, District Jalaun, pending in the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jalaun at Orai.” 7. It further appears from the record that a matrimonial dispute arose between the complainant, Smt. Reena, and her husband, Sunil @ Bablu, pursuant to which proceedings under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act were initiated. The said proceedings culminated in a trial before the Judicial Magistrate, Jalaun at Orai. 8. During the course of the trial, a compromise was entered into between the parties. In view of the said compromise, the accused-applicants, namely, Sunil Kumar, Smt. Phoola Rani and Ramcharan, were acquitted of the charges under Section 498-A IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act by judgment and order dated 22.01.2015 passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Jalaun at Orai. 9. In view of the aforesaid acquittal of the accused-applicants, no proceedings pursuant to the impugned summoning order dated 02.08.2008 survive for consideration in the present application. Consequently, the reliefs sought in the present application have become infructuous. 10. Accordingly, the present application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is dismissed as having become infructuous.
