Reference may also be made to the decision given by this Court in Shaifullah and others Vs. State of U.P. and another, [2013 (83) ACC 278], in which, law expounded by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the aforesaid cases has been explained in detail. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the considered opinion that, since it is a matrimonial dispute and the parties have compromised the matter, therefore, no useful purpose would be served by prolonging the proceedings of the above NA528 No. 27111 of 2026 2 mentioned case. 9. Accordingly, the entire proceedings of Criminal Complaint No. 1185 of 2020 (Prachi Singh Vs. Anuj Singh and Others), under Sections 498A, 323, 504 I.P.C. & Section 4 of D.P.
