Heard learned counsel for the petitioners Shri Zafar Abbas, learned counsel for the respondents Shri Zulfeqar Haider and learned A.G.A. for the State Shri G.P. Singh and perused the record.
This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners with a prayer to :-
(a) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari to quash the impugned F.I.R. dated 17.09.2018 being Case Crime No. 0194 of 2018, under Sections 498A, 323, 354A, 354C, 406 of I.P.C. and Section 3/4 of D.P. Act, Police Station - Attarsuiya, District - Allahabad.
(b) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding respondent no. 2 not to arrest the petitioners in Case Crime No. 0194 of 2018, under Sections 498A, 323, 354A, 354C, 406 of I.P.C. and Section 3/4 of D.P. Act, Police Station - Attarsuiya, District - Allahabad.
This matter was referred to Mediation & Conciliation Centre of this Court by order dated 10.10.2018.
From the perusal of the report of the Mediation & Conciliation Centre of this Court dated 15.07.2019, it transpires that the mediation between the parties has succeeded and the parties have entered into settlement agreement before Mediation & Conciliation Centre of this Court on 15.07.2019. The original settlement agreement is on the record of this Case.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that since the matrimonial dispute between the parties from which the impugned F.I.R. emanates has been amicably settled before the mediation centre of this Court and the parties have entered into a settlement agreement on 15.07.2019 and according to Clause 6(h) of the settlement agreement, the parties have agreed to withdraw all the criminal cases filed by them against each other, the impugned is liable to be quashed.
Learned counsel appearing for the respondent no. 3 does not dispute the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners.
Since the matrimonial dispute between the parties from which the impugned F.I.R. has emanated has been amicably settled before the Mediation Centre of this Court and the parties have entered into a compromise on 15.07.2019 under which they have agreed to withdraw all the criminal cases filed by them against each other, no useful purpose would be served in proceeding any further against the petitioners in this matter. The impugned F.I.R. is quashed and the writ petition stands allowed.
There shall however be no order as to costs.
