State of Punjab, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/08esXBO5\">(2012) 10 SCC 303<\/a>, wherein it was observed that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201c\u2026the criminal cases having overwhelmingly and pre-dominatingly civil favour stand on different footing for the purposes of quashing, particularly the offences arising from commercial, financial, mercantile, civil, partnership or such like transactions or the offences arising out of matrimony relating to dowry, etc. or the family disputes where the wrong is basically private or personal in nature and the parties have resolved their entire dispute. In this category of cases, High Court may quash criminal proceedings if in its view, because of the compromise between the offender and victim, the possibility of conviction is remote and bleak and continuation of criminal case would put accused to great oppression and prejudice and extreme injustice would be caused to him by not quashing the criminal case despite full and complete settlement and compromise with the victim. In other words, the High Court must consider whether it would be unfair or contrary to the interest of justice to continue with the criminal proceeding or continuation of the criminal proceeding would tantamount to abuse of process of law despite settlement and compromise between the victim and wrongdoer and whether to secure the ends of justice, it is appropriate that criminal case is put to an end and if the answer to the above question(s) is in affrmative, the High Court shall be well within its jurisdiction to quash the criminal proceeding.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bench added that the present matter involved offences arising out of matrimony and was basically private in nature and the parties sought to resolve their entire dispute and due to the compromise between them, the possibility of conviction would be remote and bleak and continuation of criminal case would lead to great prejudice or injustice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, in view of the above discussion, petition was allowed while allowing the below prayer clause:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201ca.
