Gauba, J., referring to the relevant authority on the subject, allowed a petition filed under Section 482 CrPC for quashing of an FIR registered under Sections 498-A and 406 read with Section 34 IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The parties were married to each other. The wife had lodged the aforesaid FIR against her husband and in-laws. Investigation concluded, the police filed a charge-sheet and cognizance was taken. Subsequently, the parties reached a settlement as per which they agreed to obtain a divorce and terminate the present criminal case. Consequent to the same, the present petition was moved and the wife supported the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court noted pertinently that the offence under Section 498-A is a non-compoundable\u00a0offence. Thereafter, it cited various decisions of the Supreme Court and the observations therein which pertain to the law on the present subject.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reliance was placed upon\u00a0<em>B.S.

Babita Raghuvanshi,\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/SV50x6W1\">(2013) 4 SCC 58<\/a> wherein it was held,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;&#8230; it is the duty of the courts to encourage genuine settlements of matrimonial disputes&#8230;&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following the well-settled principle that continuing criminal action which arose essentially out of the matrimonial dispute and where parties decide to hurry the hatchet, will be an abuse of judicial process, the Court allowed the petition and quashed the subject FIR and proceedings arising therefrom.
