THIS CRL.P. COMING ON FOR ADMISSION THIS DAY, THE
COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Due to certain issues, respondent No.1 having lodged a complaint, respondent No.2 registered the FIR, conducted investigation and filed the charge sheet against the petitioners, for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 506 r/w 34 IPC. The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bengaluru Rural District having taken cognizance and issued summons to the petitioners, this petition was filed 3 to quash the proceedings of the case pending in the Court below, on the ground that there is restoration of conjugal rights between petitioner No.1 and respondent No.1.
2. Sri Gireesha J.T., learned advocate, entered appearance for respondent No.1. Learned advocates on both sides filed joint memo, signed by petitioner No.1 and respondent No.1 and submitted that the offences may be compounded.
3. Petitioner No.1 and respondent No.1, are present before court and were identified by their learned advocates. When questioned, respondent No.1 submitted that there being reunion and restitution of conjugal rights, she is not interested in prosecuting the accused in C.C.No.7231/2014. I am convinced that no pressure has been brought on respondent No.1 by the petitioners.
4. As the differences between the spouses have been amicably sorted out and there is reunion, in the interests of justice, the offences can be compounded. 4
In the result, petition is allowed and the entire proceedings of C.C.No.7231/2014, on the file of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bengaluru Rural District, Bengaluru, is quashed.
