1 Heard the learned advocates for the parties.
2 This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is filed by the petitioners with a prayer to quash complaint C.R. No.I-61 of 2011 registered with Himmatnagar Rural Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 363 and 366 of the Indian Penal Code filed by the respondent No.4 against the petitioners.
3. At the outset, the learned advocates appearing for petitioners and the complainant have jointly submitted that the parties have reconciled their differences and petitioner No.2 had earlier voluntarily gone with petitioner No.1 and now she has returned to her parents and she is in the custody of her parents and, thus, the dispute is amicably settled.
4. Learned APP would submit that the date of birth for petitioner No.2 is, as per the registration, 15.1.1994 while, as per the statement of the girl and the school leaving certificate and affidavit filed by her, the date of birth is 1.5.1992.
5 Considering the above facts and the affidavit dated 13.1.2012 filed by the complainant, coupled with the fact that the dispute is amicably resolved and the girl earlier had left her parental home voluntarily and now returned to her parents, I deem it just and proper to exercise powers under Section 482 of the Code and quash the impugned complaint qua the petitioners. This petition is allowed accordingly. The impugned complaint is quashed qua the petitioners. Direct service is permitted.
