Delhi<\/span><\/b> High Court<\/span><\/b>: While deciding the matter under Section 482 of CrPC, a single judge bench comprising of Suresh Kait J., annulled the criminal proceedings against the accused on the ground of the mutual settlement between the parties. The petitioners approached the Court to quash the FIR for the offences punishable under Sections 468\/120B\/471\/420\/467 IPC and Section 12 of Passport Act against them. A cross-case for the offences punishable under Sections 498A\/406\/34 IPC was also pending. Both the parties were present in the Court and submitted that they have amicably settled the matter. However the Court realized that in this process, government machinery has been put into motion and precious time of the Court has been consumed, therefore, it agreed to impose costs on the petitioners.<\/span><\/p>\n
